If confirmed, this would mark the most prominent shake-up of Ukraine's military leadership since the war with Russia began.
Ukraine has seen a string of sackings and resignations following a corruption scandal in late January. The Security Service of Ukraine recently said that it had uncovered a majorArakhamia didn't mention the embezzlement scheme on Sunday or imply that Reznikov had been implicated in it. The official said the decision would likely be put up for debate in parliament this week.
"Major General Kyrylo Budanov will head the Ministry of Defense, which is absolutely logical for wartime," he said. Reznikov responded to the news by saying that he"did not have any conversation about the ministry of strategic industries with the president of Ukraine." "It was news to me," Reznikov said in an interview earlier on Sunday with Ukrainian channel Fakty ICTV."If I suddenly received such an offer from the president of Ukraine . . . I would refuse it, because I do not have the expertise that would allow me to be the minister of . . . strategic industries."

History As It Happens: When Ukraine Had NukesWhen Ukraine acceded to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1994, the country’s leaders fulfilled a vow they had made as soon as Ukraine became an independent state in 1991. Ukraine would relinquish the thousands of nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles on its territory – it’s “nuclear inheritance” after the collapse of the USSR. Looking back at that decision through the lens of Russia’s invasion one year ago, some observers now contend that Ukraine made a mistake by voluntarily ceding its potential nuclear deterrence, although Ukraine never had independent operational command and control over the weapons. Moreover, as political scientist and nuclear historian Mariana Budjeryn demonstrates in her new book, “Inheriting the Bomb,” the majority of Ukrainian political and military leaders in the early 1990s viewed holding onto the nukes as more dangerous than it might be worth.
