The government has dismissed five deputy defense ministers, department head Mikhail Fedorov said.. We are talking about Anatoly Klochko, Alexander Kozenko, Nikolai Shevtsov, Vladimir Zaverukha and Anna Gvozdyar.

" Some of them will continue to work in the Ministry of Defense team in other areas as advisers or heads of project offices. In the coming weeks, new team members will appear who will be responsible for important areas of activity,"

According to him, such personnel decisions will help update the Ministry of Defense to further build a system that can stop the enemy in the sky and on the ground, as well as strengthen asymmetric and cyber strikes against Russians and their economy.

" The first is management restructuring, and this is an important step towards changing the system. Human capital and technology must work as efficiently as possible - this is the only way we can stop Russia. We are open to new people who have vision, successful projects, who can effectively implement asymmetric innovative technological ideas,” Fedorov added..

Subsequently, the permanent representative of the Cabinet of Ministers in parliament, Taras Melnychuk, said that the government also fired the Deputy Minister of Defense for European Integration Anatoly Kutsevol. He was immediately appointed Deputy Minister of Energy, who will deal with the same area - European integration.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky announced personnel decisions, which, according to him, should help change our defense system. In addition, according to him, the Air Force, together with Fedorov, is working on transforming the system of countering Shaheeds..

Let us remind you that on January 14, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Fedorov as Minister of Defense, giving 277 votes for this decision. In the session hall, he stated that he took this position not as a minister who built a digital state and created “Diyu”, but as a person whose team has spent a lot of time working for the war since 2022.

Zelensky explained rotations in the security and defense structure of Ukraine. According to him, the top priority remains ending the war, but Ukraine must prepare for negative scenarios, in particular, if Russia blocks diplomatic routes. Regarding the rotations, which affected, in particular, Kirill Budanov, Mikhail Fedorov, Sergei Kislitsa and Denis Shmygal, Zelensky added that they are aimed at strengthening the negotiating team and determining the strategy for the development of events in Ukraine.
