Ukraine foreign minister tenders resignation amid war’s biggest reshuffle

Live Mint  

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tendered his resignation on Wednesday, part of the biggest government reshuffle of the 30-month war against Russia. More resignations and appointments are expected over the coming days after five ministers stepped down on Tuesday, in what a senior ally of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy cast as the start of a government "reset" ahead of the winter. Russian forces are advancing in the east of Ukraine, Ukrainian troops have made a bold incusion into Russia's Kursk region and Moscow has intensified drone and missile attacks in recent weeks. David Arakhamia, a senior lawmaker for Zelenskiy's party, said on Tuesday there would be a "major government reset" that would see more than half of the ministers change.
