New Minister Inherits Complex Problems In Arms Production And Procurement
Ukraine’s new defense minister, Yevhen Khmara, is taking over at a critical time, with the country facing numerous challenges in its defense sector, including stalled contracts, inefficient procurement, and a lack of armor for wounded soldiers. The previous minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, failed to resolve these issues, and Khmara will need to navigate a complex web of interests and bureaucracies to address them. The situation is further complicated by the need for international partners to provide transparency and funding, as reported by Oboronka.
