Claim 1: “Khmara and Sibiga currently serve as acting defense and foreign ministers respectively”
DISPUTED
While evidence for claim 0 confirms Yevheniy Khmara was appointed as acting defense minister, the evidence provided for claim 2 consists of irrelevant Google Maps/Business Profile results. However, evidence for claim 1 shows Sibiga was already voted in as foreign minister, and one source for claim 0 mentions Khmara as acting head, but the provided evidence for claim 2 specifically is non-responsive, and other sources suggest Sibiga's appointment was completed.
