Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has been dismissed from his post, with President Volodymyr Zelensky saying it is time for "new approaches" in the defence ministry.
The 57-year-old had led the ministry since before the start of Russia’s invasion, and Ukrainian media has speculated that he will become Kyiv’s new ambassador in London, where he has developed good relations with senior politicians.
But his dismissal has not come as a complete surprise, amid a wider anti-corruption drive in Mr Zelensky’s administration – which has been seen as essential to Ukraine’s ambitions to join Western institutions like the EU.
Rustem Umerov, who runs Ukraine’s State Property Fund, has been nominated as Mr Reznikov’s successor.
