RFE: Ukraine Sends Mixed Messages Over Defense Ministry At A Sensitive Point In The War
Intense fighting in eastern Ukraine between Russian and Ukrainian troops continues as Kyiv sends mixed signals over a possible reshuffle at the Defense Ministry amid expectations of a major Russian offensive in the coming weeks.

Update: Ukraine’s defense ministry in turmoil at key point in war (NYPost)
WNU Editor: There has been a lot of news coverage that there will be a reshuffle in the Ukraine Defense Ministry (link here).

Budanov is Washington's man but he's also got a pretty bad track record as head of "intelligence" aka conspiracy theories. The announcement that a hardliner nationalist in his 30's was taking over the Defense Ministry seems to have caused a panic in the general staff, who are looking for the political leadership to disengage from Bakhmut rather than double down with their remaining manpower.
Reznikov is probably still gone at the end of the week though.
Don’t worry folks, our news outlets assured us that the Ukrainians are winning and will have Crimea back in a jiffy lol
all is peaches and cream in Putin's
Eden.
This is part of the zelinski purge last week.
