Center BBC emphasizes dramatic quotes like ‘Reeves on brink’ and ‘Chancer of the Exchequer,’ signaling pressure without direct blame.

Story gist: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and appointed Rustem Umerov as replacement in Kyiv on September 5.

Absent left perspective might highlight anti-corruption reforms; right could stress Ukrainian government instability or Zelenskyy weakening.
