Zelenskyy's statement, released by the Ukrainian presidency, quoted him as saying, "This week, Parliament will be presented with a personnel decision … I have decided to replace Ukraine's Minister of Defense. Oleksii Reznikov has served during more than 550 days of full-scale war."
As Reznikov's replacement, Ukraine's leader has nominated Rustem Umerov, a Crimean Tatar of Turkish origin.
