Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he has not yet submitted the candidacy of Ihor Klymenko, the former interior minister, for the post of defence minister to parliament, but believes he is capable of overcoming "shameful busification practices" during mobilisation. [Busification is the controversial practice of forced mobilisation in which recruitment officers detain men in public, often bundling them onto minibuses to transport them to enlistment offices – ed.]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is considering replacing the defence minister, with Interior Minister Klymenko potentially taking the place.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not nominate Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov for the post of defence minister, as part of the government reshuffle.
