Umerov appoints Kubrakov as his advisor on voluntary basis
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov appointed Oleksandr Kubrakov as his advisor on a voluntary basis.
"His experience as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Head of Ukravtodor is important and will help improve the supply and logistics system in the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Umerov wrote on Facebook.
The Minister added that he is confident that Kubrakov's state and practical experience will contribute to increasing the efficiency of defense processes and strengthening defense capability.
On May 9, 2024, the Verkhovna Rada dismissed Kubrakov from the post of Deputy Prime Minister of Reconstruction - Minister of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development. The initiators from the ruling Servant of the People faction cited the failure of the Ministry of Reconstruction, created at the end of 2022 by merging the Ministry of Regional Development with the Ministry of Infrastructure, as the reason, and declared the need to restore the latter.
