Ukrainian parliament approves dismissal of Zelensky’s defense minister

"Lawmakers in the Ukrainian parliament, the Rada, approved the resignation of Defense
Minister Denis Shmigal in a vote held on Tuesday.

Shmigal stepped down last week amid an ongoing cabinet reshuffle ordered by Vladimir Zelensky, following a major corruption scandal that has implicated several of his close associates and triggered a wave of high-level resignations.
During Tuesday’s session, members of the Rada backed Shmigal’s dismissal with 265 votes, comfortably exceeding the 226-vote threshold required for approval." RT
