A new defence minister, foreign minister, and head of the Security Service of Ukraine will not be appointed until the next parliamentary sitting, which is not scheduled to take place until August 18.

The Verkhovna Rada has approved the new composition of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

Commander of the Joint Forces Task Force, Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi, said that the transformation of the Defence Forces cannot end with a change of minister, team or head of a particular area.

A submission from Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi proposing appointments to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has been received by the Verkhovna Rada.

The chief executive of a defence sector company and his deputy have been detained under Article 615 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine. They have been notified that they are suspected of professional negligence, which led to the tragedy in Vyshneve, Kyiv Oblast.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ihor Klymenko is being considered as one of the candidates for the post of Defence Minister.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Mykhailo Fedorov will remain on his team after leaving the Ministry of Defense.

Mykhailo Fedorov stated that the war has changed, so we need to come up with asymmetric solutions to win. But Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi did not do this.

Mykhailo Fedorov believes that in order to defeat the Russian invaders, Ukraine needs to replace the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Verkhovna Rada has appointed Serhiy Koretskyi as the new Prime Minister of Ukraine.
