Rustem Umerov to be Ukraine's new Defence Minister after Zelenskyy fires Oleksii Reznikov

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the departure of the defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov, calling for "new approaches" a year and a half into Russia's invasion.

The announcement came hours after Ukraine fought off an attack by Russian drones in the southern Odesa region early yesterday that hit a Danube port on the border with NATO member Romania.

In his nightly televised address to the nation yesterday, Zelenskyy said that the minister will be relieved of his duties this week His removal comes in the wake of a number of corruption scandals involving Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense.

Infact, Zelensky’s promise to rid the government of corruption was one of the reasons behind his rapid ascent into power in 2019.

Now, Zelenskyy has nominated Rustem Umerov, the former people’s deputy of Ukraine, to become the new defense minister.

Hamas Trying To Set Up A Secret Base In Turkey? | IDF Claims Capturing Hamas Secret Document

Hamas has been planning to establish a covert base in Turkey and other terror cells to coordinate attacks against Israeli targets, including NATO members, according to a document captured by the IDF in Gaza, reported by The Times. The document, found in the home of a key Hamas leader’s chief of staff, outlines a strategy to create secret bases to bolster resistance forces and conduct intelligence and military operations. The plan includes targeted assassinations, sabotage of Israeli naval vessels, and kidnappings. The Turkish government, supportive of Hamas, labels it a "liberation group." President Erdogan has harshly criticised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating his methods would make "Hitler jealous." Erdogan also announced that over 1,000 Hamas members are being treated in Turkish hospitals and expressed disappointment over Greece’s stance that Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Despite public support, Erdogan denies that Hamas conducts terrorist operations from Turkey. #Hamas #TurkeyBase #IDF #SecretDocument #Erdogan #YahyaSinwar #RafahOffensive #Netanyahu #IsraelHamasWar #MiddleEastConflict #Terrorism #GazaStrip #Mossad #NATO #CovertOperations ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.101~

Amid Kharkiv Escalation, Mysterious New Symbol Appears on Russia’s Military Equipment [Video]

Amid Kharkiv Escalation, Mysterious New Symbol Appears on Russia’s Military Equipment

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, a new tactical emblem has been observed on Russian military equipment near Kharkiv. This symbol, characterised by a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses, indicates a significant escalation in Russia's military operations, particularly in the Kharkiv Region. According to reports from OSINT Defender, this emblem is linked to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine, with Russian forces actively attempting to breach Ukrainian defences, notably around Vovchansk. These symbols serve as identification friend or foe (IFF) measures in conflict zones, aiming to prevent friendly fire. Notably, the 'Z' marking, prominent during the 2022 Ukraine invasion, became a symbol of Russian support for the war effort. #RussiaMilitaryMysteriousSymbol #MysteriousSymbol #RussiaKharkivAttack #KharkivInvasion #RussiaAttacksKharkiv #Ukraine #Kharkiv #Frontline #Intel #Putin #Zelensky #NATO #US #Military #Defense #Security #War #Russia #Admission #Crisis ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~

Escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia intensify the demand for air defense systems. Kyiv seeks US Patriot systems, but Washington's support falls short. Poland's President confirms inability to provide Patriots due to incomplete defense infrastructure. Despite Ukraine's urgent pleas, Poland, along with Greece and Romania, cannot offer Patriots.
