Ukraine's Dpty Defense Minister responsible for logistic support of AFU submits letter of resignation

Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov supported the request of Viacheslav Shapovalov to dismiss him from the post of Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine and addressed the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with a corresponding submission, according to the website of the Ministry of Defense.

"Viacheslav Shapovalov, who was in charge of the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, asked to be fired so as not to pose a threat to the stable supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a result of a campaign of accusations related to the purchase of food services. Despite the fact that the voiced accusations are unfounded and groundless, Viacheslav Shapovalov's announcement of his dismissal is a worthy deed in the traditions of European and democratic politics, a demonstration that the interests of defense are higher than any offices or chairs," the ministry said.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine believes that such a step will help maintain the trust of society and international partners and ensure objectivity in case of additional clarifications and possible investigations.

"The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine thanks Viacheslav Shapovalov for his teamwork and effective work and is confident that the information waves will subside and justice will be achieved," according to the statement.
