Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba Resigns Amid Cabinet Shakeup

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's Foreign Minister, has resigned amid a significant government reshuffle ordered by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, marking a critical juncture in the ongoing war with Russia. Kuleba, a prominent diplomat and key figure in securing Western support since the Russian invasion, is the sixth cabinet member to resign in recent days, with potential successors including his deputy, Andrii Sybiha. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for 'new energy' in government as Russia intensifies its military offensives, notably in eastern Ukraine. The reshuffle comes as Ukraine faces escalating missile attacks and ongoing discussions with the International Monetary Fund regarding economic stability. Kuleba's departure raises concerns about continuity in foreign policy, although experts suggest it may not significantly alter Ukraine's diplomatic stance. As Ukraine prepares for the approaching winter, the government is under pressure to align its institutions effectively to address the crisis.
