The Ukrainian government sacked six deputy defence ministers amid announcements of gains near Bakhmut and in the South. Those removed included Hanna Maliar, who issues updates on Russia's war and Ukraine Army. The move also comes following the appointment of a new defence minister earlier this month.

technically it is actually the Defence Minister choice and not the President.

also much these are deputies, much better than russia changing a few generals during wartime and operations period which is actually bad.
