Zelensky introduces Khmara to Defense Ministry staff
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has introduced newly appointed Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara to the ministry's staff.
On August 19, acting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Oleksii Khmara as the new Defense Minister, following the resignation of Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko earlier that day. This came on the heels of Zelensky's meeting with Khmara at the Defense Ministry, during which the newly appointed minister pledged to work closely with the President and the Defense Ministry to address Ukraine's military needs.
Zelensky emphasized the importance of mutual understanding, support, and rapid response between the Defense Ministry and the Armed Forces, particularly in light of ongoing Russian aggression and the need to protect Ukrainian cities and communities. Khmara expressed his gratitude for Zelensky's trust and highlighted three key priorities: strengthening the military on the front lines, supporting servicemembers, and developing the defense industry.
