The dismissal of Oleksiy Reznikov, the former Minister of Defence of Ukraine, and the extraordinary appointment of the head of the National Security of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov as a minister of defence has caused some interest.
The appointment of Budanov as the minister of defence of Ukraine is aimed at improving the country's national defence force, the news came to Ednews from a Ukrainina based reliable source.
"The strategic goal of the possible appointment of the new defence minister is likely to be related to the protection of the influential positions of the defence ministry and the improvement of the army. It envisages the invasion of Russia (intensification of the attack of Russian troops and the expected counter-offensives of the Defence Forces of Ukraine), as well as the further increase of military, financial and economic assistance, and the improvement of negotiating positions with Western countries. We believe that with the new appointment, all these plans can be implemented more successfully."
Speaking about what happened in the background of the emergency appointment, it was emphasized that it is related to corruption.
"The extraordinary change of the Minister of Defence took place against the background of corruption scandals related to the purchase of food for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During a full-scale war, even the smallest incident of information is capable of creating social discord within Ukraine. In this case, Ukraine may be seen in a negative way in front of its partner countries...," the source said.
It should be noted that the head of the Servant of the People faction in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, David Arakhamiya, said that there will be no personnel changes in the Ministry of Defense.
