# Ukraine's Defence Minister Dismissed in Government Reshuffle
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed Mykhailo Fedorov as Ukraine's defence minister, removing him from the position after approximately six months in the role. The dismissal occurred as part of a wider government reshuffle announced by the president.
Fedorov had been credited with transforming the defence ministry during his tenure.
