According to the latest information, Andrei Zagorodniuk became the new Minister of Defense of Ukraine. He is 44 years old. He has little experience in the Ministry of Defense, but far from in the military field. Zagorodniuk served as head of the design service for the reform of this very department.
In addition, it is known that Mr. Zagorodniuk previously engaged in the so-called volunteer activities (he assisted the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 2014 of the year), and also worked in the mining sector (Discovery Drilling Equipment Company).
