Verkhovna Rada confirms Evgeniy Khmara as new Defense Minister
It looks like the top spot at the Ministry of Defense is finally seeing a permanent face after the reshuffle.
So, the Verkhovna Rada officially voted in Evgeniy Khmara as the new head of the Ministry of Defense. With 312 votes, the parliament basically put a stamp on what everyone already suspected was coming. Khmara is a career спецпризначенець from the SBU's Alpha unit, so he definitely isn't a desk-jockey.
He spent years running special ops, from the liberation of the Kyiv region to the Snake Island mission. He even had a quick stint acting as the head of SBU last year. He is trading his tactical vest for a suit, but his background is pure battlefield management. Whether he can handle the sheer bureaucratic madness of the ministry is the real question now.
A guy who spent his life clearing rooms is now in charge of the entire supply chain and ministry logistics. Let's see if the transition from special ops to the cabinet office goes as smoothly as a raid.
