Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has resigned, parliament speaker said on Wednesday, a day after four cabinet ministers stepped down ahead of the expected government shake-up.
The 43-year-old foreign minister didn't give a reason for his resignation, which will be discussed by lawmakers at their next session.
Four other Cabinet ministers tendered their resignations late Tuesday, making the Cabinet reshuffle likely the biggest since Russia's February 2022 invasion.
Deputy Prime Minister for European Affairs Olga Stefanishyna; Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin — who has played a prominent role in boosting arms production — Minister of Justice Denys Maliuska, and Minister of the Environment Ruslan Strilets all submitted their resignation.
There was no immediate reaction from the government to the offers of resignation, and it remains unclear whether any of the four ministers will be moved to other senior positions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had hinted last week that a Cabinet reshuffle was on the cards, while the head of his party in parliament said Tuesday that half of the current ministers were likely to be replaced.
Amid Russia-Ukraine conflictrich 888, the latter is facing a new major challenges as it struggles to hold back Russian gains in the east of the country and seeks to disrupt Moscow's plans with its recent incursion into the neighboring Kursk region.
