Zelenskiy Nominates Andrii Sybiha as Foreign Minister

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has nominated Andrii Sybiha, the first deputy foreign minister, to become the new foreign minister during a significant cabinet reshuffle amid the ongoing war with Russia. This change follows the resignation of Dmytro Kuleba, who was a prominent figure in Ukraine's foreign policy efforts. Analysts predict that Sybiha's appointment will not alter Ukraine's foreign policy direction, as the foreign minister usually plays a secondary role to the president's office. The reshuffle includes the resignation of other key ministers, with parliament expected to confirm Sybiha and eight additional ministers. Zelenskiy is preparing to present a 'victory plan' to U.S. President Joe Biden and is advocating for the lifting of restrictions on long-range weapon use against Russia. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to escalate their attacks, targeting key infrastructure in Ukraine as winter approaches.
