KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's defence minister is dismissing three of his deputies in a reshuffle as Kyiv struggles to fend off Moscow's 2 1/2-year-old invasion, he said on Tuesday.
Rustem Umerov said in a social media post he had asked the government to relieve Stanilsav Haider, Oleksandr Serhiy and Yuriy Dzhygyr of their duties as deputy defence ministers, and Liudmyla Darahan as ministry secretary.
