The Verkhovna Rada has approved Oleksii Reznikov’s resignation as defense minister, lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak said. The decision reportedly received 327 votes.

President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his decision to dismiss Reznikov on September 3, after which Reznikov then submitted his resignation to the Ukrainian parliament on September 4.

According to Zhelezniak, Rustem Umerov, formerly the chairperson of Ukraine’s State Property Fund and the individual chosen by Zelensky to replace Reznikov as the defense minister, will be appointed tomorrow.

Reznikov has held the post of Defense Minister since November 2021. Since the start of the war, he has played a vital role in coordinating military aid from foreign allies, including at multiple Ramstein summits.
