Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked his wartime minister of defence and replaced him with a trusted political ally who took part in failed peace talks last year with Russia.
The dismissal of Oleksii Reznikov, who has headed Ukraine’s defence ministry since Russia invaded in February 2022, needs to be approved by the Ukrainian parliament.
“I believe that the Ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society at large,” Mr Zelensky said.
The 57-year-old Mr Reznikov became one of the most high-profile Ukrainians of the war, representing Ukraine at Nato meetings and dozens of bilateral talks to secure billions of pounds worth of funding and cutting-edge kit to fight Russia.
But his period as defence minister has been tarnished by corruption allegations and Mr Zelensky has been close to firing him previously.
Earlier this year, Mr Reznikov nearly lost his job after an investigation into inflated prices that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence was paying for soldiers’ rations.

He's been very effective, and in the dire straits Ukraine finds itself that should be enough.
His replacement is a Z loyalist and political hack.
They will continue to lose no matter what.
I suspect that he had a problem with sending fellow Ukrainians to their deaths against the Russian Defense Lines.
So, yes, makes sense that the Neocons sent him to the showers.
Looks like because of the failed counter-attack Washington demanded a change before they’ll give the Ukrainians the next batch of money and arms.
Who has had more “new approaches”? Is it Zelensky, or DeSantis?
True but it won’t make much of a difference.
Round up the RINOs and neocons in this country and send them to the front lines in Ukraine. The image of Turd Blossom in tactical gear and a helmet makes me laugh.
Biden having someone in Ukraine fired? That would never happen! /s
He’s got the moon face to be a member of the corrupt Ukie oligarch class...
Calver! Calver, what are you doing here? You’re dead!
I am not.
I saw ya!
You did not!
I did too.
Didn’t.
Did.
Didn’t!
Did!
Didn’t!
What are you trying to do make a fool out of me?
What, Biden and Zel and Putin not murdering off enough Christian white men for no good reason fast enough?
Was the change in Ukraine’s military leadership originated in Kiev or in Washington, DC????
Reznikov was indeed a Ze loyalist who helped Ze steal and shared with him tons of aid. The US demanded to change his for their man for more than a year.
Nope, it must go on and on. The Globalist get thier rocks off on it.😡
I wonder if RevMom was consulted before the decision was finalized . . .
More command changes for the Ukraine.
You guys both promote similar events in Russia as “the sky is falling”... but will pretend nothing is happening in YouCrane.
Noticing.
Sacrificial lamb?
“They will continue to lose no matter what.”

It seems like it’s actually Russia that is on the losing side.
They have spent 1,5 years losing +100.000 Russian soldiers trying to get to Kiev. And... they are far, very far away from Kiev, still.
Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, Ukrainians have actually managed to take back +50% of what Russia had originally managed to take. Thus, Russia is clearly retreating.
Lately the Ukrainians have pieced through Russias first and most powerful line of defense in the South.
So clearly, the momentum is on Ukraines side. Russia is continuing to retreat bit by bit every single day.
Basically, the only thing Russia has obtained is basically what they had already taken in 2014 already : Crimea, and Donbas. Nothing more in 1.5 years !!
And they of course want it to escalate. 90% of us all need to be wiped out according to them.
How very kind of you.
