Yevhenii Khmara, who had been serving as acting defense minister since mid-July, will now head the ministry permanently. The appointments have ended any hopes that Ukraine’s ex-defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, would return after the reshuffle. Late Tuesday evening, Fedorov called for nationwide elections. Meanwhile, two senior Ukrainian politicians have been linked to a major anti-corruption investigation targeting an alleged network of current and former officials. Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities say the group laundered around $3.35 million used to pay bail in a separate energy corruption case. To discuss this and more, Ukraine Brief’s host Ashim Kumar is joined by Tetiana Shevchuk, Head of International Relations, Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
