Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced his resignation on Wednesday following a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the latest departure in a sweeping government reshuffle.
Fedorov, who took office only in January 2026, will be replaced by Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. His departure comes days after Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced her own resignation on Monday, which parliament formally approved on Tuesday. Svyrydenko's exit was part of a broader cabinet reorganisation initiated by Zelenskiy.
The rapid succession of departures signals a significant restructuring of Ukraine's government, with the president overseeing changes to key security and economic portfolios less than seven months into Fedorov's tenure.
