Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba Resigns

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has resigned amid a significant government reshuffle initiated by President Volodymyr Zelensky, coinciding with the two-and-a-half-year anniversary of Russia's invasion. Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk confirmed the resignation, which will be reviewed by the Verkhovna Rada in an upcoming session. Kuleba’s departure follows resignations from several other high-ranking officials, including Deputy Prime Ministers and various ministers, indicating a broader cabinet overhaul aimed at enhancing government effectiveness as Ukraine prepares for winter. Sources suggest that Kuleba's first deputy, Andrei Sibiga, is the likely successor. Zelensky has stated that more than half of the cabinet is expected to be replaced, reflecting a strategic move to strengthen state institutions. This political shake-up comes as Ukraine intensifies its military efforts in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
