I thank each and every one who defends Ukraine and works for victory. I thank my entire team for their efficient service 24/7. I would like to thank my family for their patience. I thank everyone for their support! I will continue to work for the mission with which I came to the Ministry of Defense earlier – to defeat the enemy with asymmetry, speed of innovation, and strength of organization. More to come ,” he added. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n4013715
What preceded it?
- On July 14, the parliament dismissed Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. Every minister was dismissed along with her.
- Previously, Censor.NET wrote that the position of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov before a significant government reform has significantly weakened – the Verkhovna Rada is increasingly confident about his possible replacement with the current Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko.
- On July 15, media reported that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would nominate current Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko to head the Ministry of Defense in the new government, replacing Mykhailo Fedorov. In his opinion, the latter “failed the CCC reform.” Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/n4013715

Back to square one.
Zelensky is a loser. Petro and Yulia to the front!
Crappy move unless he really wanted to step down. He better still be afforded a high position as his innovation and restructuring have made huge progress in reforms and streamlining.
