President says war against Russia requires a new approach as he dismisses Oleksii Reznikov in favour of Rustem Umerov
Volodymyr Zelenskiy has announced that he intends to dismiss the defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov, from his post and will ask parliament this week to replace him with Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine’s main privatisation fund.
The announcement, made in the Ukrainian president’s nightly video address to the nation, sets the stage for the biggest shake-up of Ukraine’s defence establishment since the war was launched by Russia in February 2022.
