Ukraine Confirms New Foreign Minister Amid Reshuffle

Ukraine's parliament has approved Andrii Sybiha as the new foreign minister, replacing Dmytro Kuleba amid President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's largest government reshuffle since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Sybiha, a career diplomat and former ambassador to Turkey, has served as deputy foreign minister and deputy chief of staff in Zelenskyy's office. Zelenskyy aims to infuse 'new energy' into the administration to bolster Ukraine's efforts against Russia. The reshuffle includes the replacement of nearly a dozen top officials, spanning strategic industries and natural resources. The leadership changes come at a critical time as Ukraine faces a challenging winter and ongoing military pressures from Russia.
