Zelenskyy Reshuffles Government Amid Conflict, US Visit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has initiated a significant government reshuffle, with Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba among six ministers resigning, and Deputy Chief of Staff Rostyslav Shurma and Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna dismissed. The reshuffle, reportedly planned for some time, aims to inject 'new energy' into the government and prepare for a new phase in the war against Russia. Analysts suggest this move is a strategic consolidation of power by Zelenskyy. These changes come as Ukraine faces intensified Russian airstrikes and ground attacks, potentially affecting international support based on the outcome of upcoming U.S. elections. The reshuffle also coincides with Zelenskyy's anticipated U.S. visit to discuss future support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy emphasizes the need for a solid government as winter approaches.
