"So far, everything is going according to plan (because it's a bad plan), since Vyhivskyi is being nominated for the Interior Ministry," MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak wrote, suggesting that Mykhailo Fedorov would indeed be removed as defense minister, with current Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko expected to take his place.
A parliamentary vote on the new ministers is expected later on July 16.
