Ukraine’s defense minister replacement postponed due to security reasons.

A day after a senior lawmaker in  President Zelenskyy’s party announced the replacement of Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov by Ukraine’s head of military intelligence, a parliamentary official said no decisions on staff changes will be made this week. The delay is due to risks to the system as a whole ahead of a key meeting on weapons deliveries this week and military preparations, said the deputy chair of the Ukrainian parliament’s defense and intelligence committee Mariana Bezuhla. The back-and-forth casts uncertainty over the fate of Reznikov, who has been forced to defend his ministry against charges that officials had been skimming funds off military food supplies. The minister and his staff have denied the accusations.
