Previously reportedIt was stated that Reznikov’s resignation from the post of head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine may be related to the preparations for the presidential elections in 2024, as well as the corruption schemes he was involved in. It is stated that businessman Rustam Umerov, who can replace Reznikov, may also participate in the corruption plans of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. It is noted that the head of the military department of Ukraine did not comply with local propaganda about the speedy end of hostilities.
