Who is Rustem Umerov, Ukraine's new defence minister?
Umerov is a Crimean Tatar, a Turkic people from the Black Sea Ukrainian peninsula that was annexed by Russia in 2014. He was born in Samarkand in Uzbekistan to a Crimean Tatar family that was deported from then Soviet Crimea in the 1940s. Since 2020, Umerov has been a member of a Ukrainian government task force working on the strategy to end the occupation of Crimea.
Umerov, described as a talented negotiator by people close to him, was a member of the Ukrainian team that held negotiations with Russia in March 2022, one month after Russia's full-scale invasion on Ukraine. He also took part in talks on the U.N.- brokered wartime deal that allowed Ukraine to export its grain through the Black Sea and on prisoner exchanges, including those involving Ukraine's Azov fighters who were captured by Russia during the battle for the southern city of Mariupol in 2022. He was also a member of the delegation during a visit by Zelensky to Saudi Arabia in May, and accompanied first lady Olena Zelenska on a visit to the United Arab Emirates in March.
When proposing Umerov, Zelenskiy said new approaches and other forms of interaction with the military and society were needed as Russia's invasion entered its 19th month.
