Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday approved President Volodymyr Zelensky's proposal to appoint Yevhenii Chmara as defense minister. Chmara is to take office after the recalled Mykhailo Fedorov and according to available information previously served as head of the SBU secret service. hnonline.sk ↗
Before voting on the defense ministry, MPs also supported the reappointment of Andriy Sybiha as foreign minister. Both decisions were part of personnel moves that the president submitted to parliament. The vote on Chmara was expected after Zelensky proposed his appointment to head the defense ministry. forum24.cz ↗
The change in the position of defense minister prompted reactions outside parliament as well. In Kyiv, more than one hundred demonstrators gathered at the building of the Supreme Rada, demanding the return of Mykhailo Fedorov to office. Participants in the gathering carried Ukrainian flags and expressed support for the recalled minister. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The new leadership of the defense ministry comes at a time when Ukraine continues its war efforts while also dealing with personnel changes in top state positions. Further developments will show how Chmara will organize the management of the ministry and what support he will have in parliament and among the public following Fedorov's departure.
