Reznikov was appointed as Ukraine’s Minister of Defence 7 years after Russia unilaterally annexed (the Ukrainian province) Crimea and 7 years after the start of the War in Donbas in Eastern Ukraine. In December 2021 Reznikov stated that Germany had vetoed Ukraine’s purchase of anti-drone rifles and anti-sniper systems via the NATO Support and Procurement Agency.

On 26 February 2022, two days after Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine, Reznikov held a call with his Belarusian counterpart Viktor Khrenin, who on behalf of Russia’s minister of defense Sergei Shoigu offered to stop the invasion if Ukraine capitulated. Reznikov replied that he is “ready to accept the capitulation from the Russian side.”

On 30 December 2022, Reznikov announced a second wave of Russian mobilization, which was supposed to begin on 5 January 2023
In December 2022, Reznikov falsely claimed that a new wave of Russian mobilisation would begin on 5 January 2023, but this didn’t happen.

In February 2023, the head of the Servant of the People parliamentary bloc, Davyd Arakhamia, stated that Reznikov would be replaced by Kyrylo Budanov as defence minister. This change did not take place, however. On 5 March 2023, Reznikov stated that the Russians were losing around 500 men killed and wounded in action every day fighting for Bakhmut, saying that Russian soldiers were just “cannon fodder” in the Kremlin’s “meat grinder tactics”.

In May 2023, he urged ethnic Bashkirs from the Russian republic of Bashkortostan not to participate in the war against Ukraine, saying that “thousands of Bashkir men have died or became disabled” because of Putin’s imperial ambitions. He said that when he served in the Soviet Air Forces, a Bashkir was one of his closest friends.

In June 2023, he said that Ukraine was willing to accept China as a mediator for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine only if Beijing could convince Russia to withdraw from all the territories it had occupied. According to Reznikov, it seems that China could influence Russia. Reznikov said that the peace plans presented by China, Brazil or Indonesia are attempts at mediation on behalf of Russia, saying that “they all currently want to be mediators on Russia’s side. That’s why this sort of mediation currently doesn’t fit for us at all because they aren’t impartial”.

On 6 July 2023, US President Joe Biden authorized the provision of cluster munitions to Ukraine in support of a Ukrainian counter-offensive against Russian forces in Russian-occupied southeastern Ukraine. Reznikov welcomed the decision and said that “As we got in May 2022 155-millimeter artillery systems, it became a game changer. In July, we got different types of [Multiple Launch Rocket Systems] it became [the] next game changer … And I hope that cluster munitions [become] a next game changer as weaponry or ammunition for liberation of our temporarily occupied territories.”

For the first time, information about Reznikov’s resignation appeared after several high-ranking officials, including deputy defense ministers, were fired in Ukraine in early 2023 due to corruption scandals. Over the next few months, it became known about a number of scandals involving the purchase of products (well known as “Eggs for 17 hryvnias”) and ammunition for the military by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine at inflated prices, and Reznikov’s resignation was again talked about.

According to a source of The New York Times in the Office of the President of Ukraine, the reshuffle in the leadership of the Ukrainian department occurred for three reasons: the Ukrainian authorities believe that a new military leadership is needed due to the protracted war, Reznikov is criticized by civil society and the media against the background of corruption scandals, in addition, he himself expressed a desire to resign.

On 3 September, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed Reznikov as minister of defense, seeking to replace him with Rustem Umierov and will offer the official recommendation to the Verkhovna Rada when it convenes on 4 September. Zelenskyy stated he sacked Reznikov because “I believe that the ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society as a whole.” However, his dismissal during a wider anti-corruption crackdown within the country has cast the official reason in doubt.
