The Verkhovna Rada prepares for the appointment of new Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs
Important personnel changes may take place in the Ukrainian government in the near future. It is expected that as early as August 18, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will submit official nominations to the Verkhovna Rada for the appointment of new heads of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to members of parliament, the candidacies of Andrii Sybiha and Mr. Khmara are being considered for the ministerial positions. These appointments are part of the planned work to renew the composition of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine under wartime conditions.
Particular attention is drawn to the status of the future Minister of Defense. According to parliamentarians, the candidate for this position will serve not as a military serviceman, but as a civilian. This aligns with the standards for managing defense departments in many countries around the world.
The final decision regarding these appointments will be made by the people's deputies during a vote in the session hall. It is expected that the parliament will consider these issues in the coming days, which will allow the new ministers to quickly begin performing their duties.
