Ukrainian government reshuffle: new defence and foreign ministers appointed
In August 2026, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Yevhenii Khmara as Defence Minister and Andrii Sybiha as Foreign Minister. The appointments came amid discussions on government reform and criticism of previous ministers' actions, particularly regarding the General Staff's resistance to transparent procurement tenders. The new ministers have outlined their tasks, but their appointments have sparked mixed reactions in society.
