Deputy Defence Minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov also resigned, following reports he oversaw the purchase of military food supplies at inflated prices from a relatively unknown firm. The department called this a "technical mistake" and claimed no money had changed hands. The defence minister himself - Oleksii Reznikov - has been under scrutiny for the same reason. A host of other top officials were dismissed on Tuesday, including: * Deputy Prosecutor General Oleskiy Symonenko * Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Ivan Lukerya * Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Vyacheslav Negoda * Deputy Minister for Social Policy Vitaliy Muzychenko * And the regional governors of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy and Kherson
