Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, during a video message published on his Telegram channel, announced the resignation of Oleksiy Reznikov from the post of head of the country's Ministry of Defense.

Alexey Reznikov went through more than 550 days of a full-scale war. I believe that the ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction both with the military and with society as a whole,” Zelensky said, adding that the head of the State Property Fund Rustem Umerov will take the vacant position.

According to him, the Verkhovna Rada noted that Rustem Umerov is able to cope with new duties, and also does not need additional introductions. At the end of August, Verkhovna Rada deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak already announced Umerov's candidacy.

As IA Regnum reported , it was previously reported that Oleksiy Reznikov, after leaving the post of head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, could become the country's ambassador to the UK. According to Verkhovna Rada deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko , the office of the President of Ukraine has long considered the possibility of Reznikov's resignation.
