LATEST: Mykhailo Fedorov is out as Ukraine's defense minister, people close to the president and familiar with his decision this evening confirm to me.

[max seddon @maxseddon]

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to remove defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov, the 35-year-old architect of Ukraine’s wartime defence technology drive, after just six months as part of a major cabinet reshuffle, @christopherjm reports https://t.co/kR0CNi3fPg

[Rob Lee @RALee85]

.@pravda_eng reports that a "systemic conflict" between Minister Fedorov and factions who influence the defense budget is one of the reasons for the government reshuffle. They report that the main reason is his resistance to corruption, even though the criticism leveled is about mobilization. They also report that President Zelensky asked Klymenko to be ready to become Minister of Defense.

🚨| Per @nypost, the FBI made 5 arrests in connection with a drone attack plot against the #UFCWhiteHouse event. 😳

The multi-phase terror attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings in the vicinity of the event, sparking mass panic and driving the fleeing crowd toward a sniper team poised to pick them off, officials told Fox News Digital.

A “second wave” of attackers then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, officials said.
