On Tuesday, the Ukrainian government dismissed the deputy minister of defense, responsible for armament procurement. This happened against the backdrop of escalating conflicts between the ministry's leaders on the issue of armament acquisition, which negatively affected the state of the army.
During the government meeting, a decision was announced to dismiss the deputy minister of defense. According to the Prime Minister, the situation in the defense ministry has become uncontrolled and requires urgent measures to normalize the situation. The mentioned deputy minister was unable to cope with his responsibilities, which served as a reason for his dismissal.
The tension around the procurement issues of weapons in the Ukrainian military ministry has existed for a long time. Conflicts within the defense ministry hindered productive work and had a negative impact on the army's activities. As the Prime Minister stated, the decision on the dismissal was difficult but a necessary step to restore order in the military ministry.
"We must guarantee the country's security, and effective operation of the defense ministry is a key moment in ensuring this security. We need professionals capable of working in a team and making informed decisions," the Prime Minister noted.
More detailed information about the reasons for the conflict in the defense ministry and the details of the dismissal of one of the high-ranking officials will be provided in the near future.
