Does this not send up a red flag that he may have been compromised
by Russian security services? Not a good thing for being a Defence
Minister at a time of potential invasion.

FYI: New Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhaylo Koval, the former head of the State Border Service, was briefly kidnapped earlier this month.

Here's the Interfax report:

Colonel-General of the State Border Service of Ukraine Mykhailo Koval, who has been previously kidnapped by unidentified persons in Yalta, has established contact to inform that he is safe and well.

"Colonel-General of Ukraine's State Border Service Mykhailo Koval has been freed thanks to taken measures. He has established contact to inform that he is safe and well and continues his work in Crimea, the State Border Service's press service said on Wednesday.

Koval was reported to have been kidnapped by 40 unidentified men not far from the State Border Service's Yalta coast guard boats division on Wednesday. Koval was surrounded by a group of men, predominantly bikers, when he left the exit control point with other officers, the press service said. Then he was forced into an SUV, which drove in an unknown direction.
