Western officials are warning that a growing dispute between Ukraine’s defense minister and the head of its procurement agency could undermine trust and disrupt weapons supplies. The dispute erupted when Defense Minister Rustem Umerov blocked the contract renewal of procurement chief Maryna Bezrukova, despite a unanimous board decision to keep her.

The decision provoked an outcry from lawmakers and anti-corruption watchdogs who said the minister’s move was illegal because Bezrukova had her contract extended by the agency’s supervisory board in January. They also came to Bezrukova’s defense, saying she has been instrumental in creating greater transparency and reforms within the DPA, which has long faced corruption allegations.
Local media reported that NABU opened proceedings against Umerov at the Anti-Corruption Action Center’s request. Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine exchanged drone barrages overnight in an attempt to strike deeper into their enemy’s territory.
