Umyerov fired his five deputies

This was reported on the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Defence.

He explained that the decision about personnel changes was made in the context of the fact that "the system of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine – the Armed Forces, DIU, and GSST – is a closed perimeter during martial law," which means "all processes inside should be clear and controlled," and "any external or internal attempts to influence them are unacceptable."

"I will announce new appointments, including deputy ministers, separately," the minister stated.

He also reported that the defense procurement system would be reformed.

He dismissed: Stanislav Hayder, Oleksandr Serhiy, Yuriy Dzhyhir, and Lyudmyla Darahan.
