Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Downloaded along with five other officials

Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malar has been dismissed from her post, along with five other officials, the country's government has confirmed.

Malar has been a prominent figure throughout the war, posting daily updates on the country's progress on the ground.

While the other five officials have not yet been identified, they have been identified as other deputy ministers.

The government has given no reason for its dismissal.

However, this has come after Volodyr Zelensky named Rustem Umerov as the country's new defence minister earlier this month.
