In reference to the 37-year-old director of the military intelligence, prominent politician David Arakhamia stated, "Kyrylo Budanov will lead the defense ministry, which is totally natural in times of conflict."
The member stated Reznikov, 56, will be named minister for strategic industries but did not give a time frame for the anticipated reorganization.
