Ukraine Parliament Confirms Yevhenii Khmara as New Defence Minister
Ukraine's parliament approved Yevhenii Khmara as the new defence minister with 312 votes, following the ousting of Mykhailo Fedorov. Khmara, previously acting minister and former head of the Security Service, emphasized strengthening Ukraine's military capabilities and advancing domestic weapons production to counter Russian aggression. While the appointment received broad parliamentary support, some opposition lawmakers expressed concerns over the process and Khmara's transfer from intelligence to defence leadership amid ongoing cabinet reshuffles.
