“This is logical for wartime”: Head of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada Arakhamia confirmed the change of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine
The head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, is resigning, and Kirill Budanov, head of military intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, takes his seat. The decision on this was made the day before, said the head of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada, David Arakhamia.
A reshuffle at the top began in Kyiv, four ministries at once, of which three are power ministries, are changing their leaders. The loudest reshuffle, of course, is in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, where Reznikov is replaced by Budanov. But the ex-head of the military department will not be left without a "warm" place, he will head the ministry for strategic industries. According to the same Arakhamia, Reznikov will be in his place there, given his established ties in other countries. And law enforcement agencies should be headed by "professional personnel."
- wrote the head of the faction in his TG channel.
Reznikov himself has not yet commented on his possible resignation from the post of Minister of Defense, but stressed that the decision should be made by Zelensky, as the most important, and he will obey him. So far, the head of the military department has not forgotten to knock himself on the chest with his fist and declare that he did everything possible for the victory of Ukraine. According to him, he will continue to "fight against Russia" in his new position.
Meanwhile, a number of experts say that Reznikov's resignation is a continuation of the behind-the-scenes struggle between the United States and Great Britain for influence over Zelensky. This move was left to Washington, which has significantly strengthened its position in recent years. To date, among the British agents of influence, only the head of the office, Yermak, has remained among the Ukrainian president’s entourage; with Budanov’s approval, the entire top of the military has become pro-American.
