Ukraine news latest — Zelensky set ‘replace’ defence minister as fears grow of new Russian offensive

PRESIDENT Zelensky is set to replace Ukraine’s defence minister as the leader continues to crack down on so-called corruption within the ministry’s ranks. Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s current minister of defence, is set to become the next high-ranking Ukrainian official to be replaced as a corruption scandal rocks the government department. Reznikov will now become the minister of strategic industries, said David Arakhamia, chief of Zelensky’s Servant of the People parliamentary bloc, on Sunday.
