Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the departure of the defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov, calling for "new approaches" a year and a half into Russia's invasion.
The announcement came hours after Ukraine fought off an attack by Russian drones in the southern Odesa region early yesterday that hit a Danube port on the border with NATO member Romania.
In his nightly televised address to the nation yesterday, Zelenskyy said that the minister will be relieved of his duties this week His removal comes in the wake of a number of corruption scandals involving Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense.
Infact, Zelensky’s promise to rid the government of corruption was one of the reasons behind his rapid ascent into power in 2019.
Now, Zelenskyy has nominated Rustem Umerov, the former people’s deputy of Ukraine, to become the new defense minister.
Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation has removed multiple bulletins criticizing Tulsi Gabbard following her nomination as director of national intelligence by President-elect Trump. The former Democratic congresswoman, now Republican, has consistently opposed US military interventions and advocated for diplomatic solutions in Ukraine. Previously accused of spreading Russian disinformation by CCD, Gabbard has maintained critical positions on Ukraine's leadership and conflict resolution approaches.

In a dramatic claim, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has suggested that the United States is considering a major political shift in Ukraine, potentially orchestrating elections in 2025 to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to the SVR, the U.S. views Zelensky as "overly entitled" and may initiate both presidential and parliamentary elections to remove him from power, despite the ongoing war with Russia. The U.S. is reportedly already working with NGOs to rally public support for the elections and possibly establish a new pro-American political party. This push for elections, which would take place under martial law, raises questions about Ukraine's sovereignty and the extent of U.S. influence over its future. With Zelensky’s government facing mounting internal and external pressures, the stakes for Ukraine's leadership and its relationship with the West are higher than ever.
