Rustem Enverovych Umerov (Ukrainian: Рустем Енверович Умєров, Crimean Tatar: Rüstem Enver oğlu Ümerov; born 19 April 1982) is a Ukrainian politician, businessman, investor, philanthropist and the current Defence Minister of Ukraine. Umerov is a Muslim, and of Crimean Tatar origin.[2][3]
Umerov is a former deputy head of the permanent delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe,[4] a delegate of the Qurultay of the Crimean Tatar People, and an adviser to former Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People chair Mustafa Dzhemilev.
