Reported move by Dmytro Kuleba follows comments by Zelenskiy of the need to ‘strengthen some areas in the government’
Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict as it is reported that Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, has tendered his resignation.
The parliamentary speaker, Ruslan Stefanchuk, said the resignation request would be discussed by lawmakers.
The reported move on Wednesday comes amid a wider reshuffle of Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s cabinet. There have been rumours of an imminent government shake-up for months.
Zelenskiy said in a Tuesday evening address that changes would be made to strengthen the government. He said: “The autumn will be extremely important for Ukraine. And our state institutions must be set up so that Ukraine achieves all the results that we need … We must strengthen some areas in the government, and personnel decisions have been prepared.
