Ukraine Foreign Minister Kuleba Resigns Amid Government Shake-Up
The announcement came a day after several other ministers resigned in a significant government reset two-and-a-half years into Russia’s invasion.
Kuleba — the face of Ukrainian diplomacy during the war — is the most senior of the ministers to offer to step down.
“The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine received a letter of resignation from the Minister for Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba,” Ruslan Stefanchuk said on social media, adding that parliament would vote on the resignation request soon.
The 43-year-old has held the post since 2020 and since Russia’s 2022 attack traveled the world to advocate for Western support for Kyiv and sanctions on Moscow.
On Tuesday, several ministers handed in their resignations, including the ministers of justice, strategic industries, and environmental protection.
