On February 21, the Cabinet of Ministers approved personnel changes in the Ministry of Defense’s leadership.
Vitalii Deineha has been appointed Deputy for Digital Development. Deineha is a well-known volunteer, the founder of a charitable foundation, "Come Back Alive", and a former adviser to NAKO. Several of the first NAKO research was written with his participation, particularly regarding international military assistance and illegal trade with occupied Donbas. Previously, Vitalii was also an adviser to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defence of Ukraine. On his Facebook page, Deineha said: "There will be a strict setting of priorities and a purge of personnel for whom the IT sector of the MOD could become a sphere of their interests, an opportunity not to go to the military commissariat, or to serve in the army only on paper, without bringing real benefit."
The Deputy for European Integration is now Andrii Shevchenko, a well-known media person who was an MP of 5-7 convocations, Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada, and representative of Ukraine in the International Civil Aviation Organization. According to the Minister of Defence, Shevchenko should help in "communication with international partners, legislators, and Ukrainian society, because the implementation of new standards in the defence sector is one of the priority areas."
NAKO sincerely welcomes newly appointed deputies! We hope for continued fruitful cooperation with the Ministry of Defenсe.
