KYIV, July 17 (Xinhua) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday proposed to parliament to appoint former Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal as the new defense minister.
“Today I have already signed documents to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine regarding Denis Shmyhal as the new Minister of Defense,” V. Zelensky said on the Telegram channel.
If approved by parliament, D. Shmyhal will replace Rustem Umerov in this post.
V. Zelensky also announced that former Minister for Strategic Industries German Smetanin will head the state defense concern Ukroboronprom.
Earlier on Wednesday, parliament accepted the resignation of D. Shmyhal, which, in accordance with Ukrainian law, entailed the resignation of the entire government.
