Zelensky names Yevheny Khmara as new Ukrainian Defence minister after political crisis

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has nominated Yevheny Khmara for parliamentary approval as Defence minister. Khmara has been serving as acting minister since the abrupt dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov in June, which sparked public outrage and a week-long political crisis. The nomination now awaits a vote in the Verkhovna Rada.
