Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba Resigns Amid Cabinet Shakeup

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has submitted his resignation amid an expected Cabinet reshuffle by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aimed at strengthening the government as the war with Russia enters its third year. Kuleba's resignation, along with that of several other ministers, including Deputy Prime Ministers Olha Stefanishyna and Iryna Vereshchuk, will be discussed at the next parliamentary session. This comes as Russian missile strikes in Lviv killed at least seven people and injured 35 others, marking one of the deadliest attacks since the invasion began. The Lviv attack followed a severe strike on a military academy in Poltava, resulting in over 50 deaths and more than 200 injuries. Zelenskyy has emphasized the need for greater interaction between the government and local communities, particularly in preparation for the winter. The ongoing violence underscores the urgency of these government changes as Ukraine seeks to bolster its defense efforts.
