Zelenskyy announces new Ukrainian defense minister, 18 months into war with Russia_我的网站

一 |     Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Sunday that he has decided to replace Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov with politician Rustem Umyerov. Reznikov "went through more than 550 days of full-scale war. I believe that the Ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction both with the military and with society as a whole," Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram.Zelenskyy said that he expects Ukraine's parliament to approve the decision this week, given the voting body's familiarity with Umyerov. He did not elaborate upon his reasons for the replacement.

     The decision came less than a month after Zelenskyy fired officials in charge of military conscription across each region of the country, citing corruption allegations that he said could amount to treason."This system should be run by people who know exactly what war is and why cynicism and bribery at a time of war is high treason," he wrote on social media at the time. 

             

Reznikov was appointed defense minister in late 2021, a few months before Russia launched its invasion of the country. Ukrainians initially criticized their government leaders for not warning the public that the invasion was imminent.                  Reznikov told CBS News earlier this year that it wasn't an oversight, but a defense strategy."We were prepared. But we tried to stop the panic in our streets," he said.Zelenskyy ended Sunday's announcement on an optimistic note. "Autumn is a time to strengthen," he wrote. "Glory to Ukraine!"

。    London, Oct 20 (UNI) The leader of the UK Labour party, Keir Starmer, on Thursday called for a general election after outgoing UK Prime Minister Liz Truss announced her resignation amid an economic crisis caused by what he described as the "chaos" of the Conservative Party, media reports said.

"This cannot continue. Britain deserves better. Britain cannot afford the chaos of the Conservatives anymore, we need a general election now," Starmer told the lower house of the UK parliament.

The official added that the crisis at the Downing Street caused an economic instability throughout the country which forced its people to overpay for bills, rent, and mortgage.

Earlier in October, Truss promised to reduce public debt amid a flurry of criticism over the government's new plan to support the economy, which included large-scale tax cuts. After the plan's announcement, the yield on five-year UK government bonds rose to its highest level since 2008, at 4.6%, which meant a decrease in demand for debt securities. Consequently, sterling fell to an all-time low of $1.054 per pound.

In late September, a YouGov poll showed that the Conservatives' rating dropped to 21%, while the support of the Labour Party reached 33%, the highest figure since the late 1990s, according Sky news reports.

The next general election in the UK is scheduled to be held no later than January 2025.
