However, the current head of government does not explain why he made such a decision.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he wants to see Denys Shmyhal as Minister of Defense.

It is quite likely that the Cabinet of Ministers will soon be headed by Yulia Svyridenko — this was also recently announced by the head of state himself.
