> anastasiia radina, head of the verkhovna rada (the ukraine's parliament) committee on anti-corruption policy, asserted that defence minister rustem umierov should resign. > "i believe that such actions destroy the defence procurement reform and mean hands-on interference in procurement processes. > it does not matter who will be on the new supervisory board or who will continue to manage the agencies  the minister has clearly shown that these people can be shown the door [fired] at any time with just one signature on the document. > a minister who violates the law; who prolongs unfulfilled arms contracts by his decisions; whose ministry, as of november 2024, the internal department of the state department of military trade and industry, which conducts arms contracts in parallel with the defence agency, has not ensured the implementation of more than half of the contracts (concluded in 2022-2023!); who cannot simplify the bureaucracy of contract approval and destroys the confidence of a country at war in the ministry of defence  must also submit his resignation."
