“The president stressed it was time to change the defence ministry’s top official,” the press service said.
Poroshenko said he planned to nominate a candidate for defence minister already on Monday and expressed the hope the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine’s parliament) would vote in favour of his nominee at its session on October 14.
“I am sure we will not drag out with the voting on the candidature for defence minister. I hope it will take place on Tuesday,” he noted.
Poroshenko said the decision to change the country’s defence minister and some other personnel reshuffles, such as “the dismissal of the chiefs of the state border service and the establishment of the intelligence committee to be headed by Igor Smeshko, will help build up Ukraine’s defence capacity.”http://en.itar-tass.com/world/753973

Рассчитываю, что именно во вторник оно произойдет", - отметил он.
По убеждению Главы государства, решение об изменении главы Министерства обороны и ряд других кадровых решений, в частности, об освобождении руководства Госпогранслужбы и образования Комитета по вопросам разведки и назначение его председателем Игоря Смешко, усилят силовые структуры и укрепят обороноспособность Украины.
