Ukraine replacing its defense minister nearly one year into Russia's invasion

Ukraine's military intelligence chief will replace Oleksiy Reznikov as defense minister in one of the highest profile changes to the country's leadership since Russia invaded one year ago, officials said on Sunday.

The reshuffling comes amid a corruption scandal that swept through the upper echelons of Ukraine's government last month.

Several top officials, including Deputy Defense Minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov and Deputy Prosecutor General Oleksiy Symonenko, resigned in late January amid accusations that inflated prices were paid for the army's food supplies.

The defense ministry has denied the accusations of corruption and said the resignations were done to ensure the public's trust in the ministry.

On runble there was a Aussie merc that returned from Ukraine. He called himself an Aid Worker. Prob for legal reasons, just surmising.
He said 60% of the military hardware is sold on the black market. He also confirmed what Col McGregor has been saying reg the war. His most telling comment was - with e1 having a cell phone, have you noticed their are very few vids of the Ukes successes against the invaders. The Aussie media sounds like the Ukes are winning.

Reznikov would be transferred to another ministerial job and replaced by Kyrylo Budanov.

Hes been moved to a role in another department. Reznikov is not accused of incompetence or wrong doing or is even described as being “booted” instead he is taking a similar role in another department.

Dishonest title.

Actually :
“Reznikov will reportedly remain in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s cabinet as Minister for Strategic Industries, “to strengthen military-industrial cooperation.”
/////////

On a sidenote and concerning an other issue:
Zelensky is Ukraine’s version of TRUMP.
He isn’t afraid to attack the corrupted swamp.
He is tackling any corruption very efficiently; it was his campaign promise. Thats why so many voted for him - a total landslide. Trumpism is winning all over the world!

Zelensky is protecting his borders against the expansionist border-hating Soviets with all his might. Trump would have done the same!
We conservatives like people who protects BORDERS.

"with e1 having a cell phone, have you noticed their are very few vids of the Ukes successes against the invaders."

Hoho leaders like zelorfsky wanting to wage war against Russia is basically ridiculous, kind of like Little WeeWee Jones wanting to get into the ring with Joe Louis.Then you get the MSM, our corrupted pols, nato fops, neocon wankers and what I call Bandarlog (Kipling's term) on forums like FR here...

"GO LITLE-WEEWEE!! YOU CAN DO IT LITTLE WEEWEE! HURRAH LITTLE WEEWEE, JUST ANOTHER TEN BILLION LITTLE WEEWEE AND WE GOT THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You should refer to Russians as "Liberators" and not "invaders". You have to be a real country to get invaded and hohostan/ukraine does not qualify.

The article omits one important fact:

"Reznikov will reportedly remain in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s cabinet as Minister for Strategic Industries, “to strengthen military-industrial cooperation.”

The dude is not being thrown out of office...he's switching jobs in the cabinet.
