Fedorov’s team may leave MoD after Khmara’s confirmation
Some members of former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov’s team may leave the ministry after the Ukrainian parliament confirms Yevhenii Khmara as the new minister, Ukrainska Pravda reported on Aug. 18, citing sources.
The resignation of some members from former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov's team is being speculated after Ukrainian parliament's confirmation of Yevhenii Khmara as the new minister, according to Ukrainska Pravda on August 18. Sources claim these departures could pose a challenge for Khmara, who does not currently have his own team or clear choices for many senior positions.
According to a source close to Fedorov, "A question now is how Khmara will move forward, given that he won’t have a team and has no one to put in top posts." Even at the directorate level, the source suggests, "I don’t think he has candidates. All the deputies and key managers — that was the best Mykhailo [Fedorov] could leave Khmara."
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had sent Khmara's nomination to the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) on the same day. Khmara has been serving as the acting minister since Fedorov's dismissal last month.
