Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba resigned after failing to secure long-range missiles for the country, a major political development that drew attention both in Ukraine and abroad.
“Dmytro Kuleba was one of the most recognizable members of the cabinet, but his requests for air defense systems and easing restrictions on Western missiles have gone unheeded in recent months,” the publication writes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that a ministerial reshuffle will “inject new strength” into Ukrainian institutions. And this wave of resignations comes at a dangerous time for Ukraine, when Russia has made significant gains in the eastern part of the Donetsk region.
However, Ukrainian media reported that the Verkhovna Rada postponed the resignation of the foreign minister at a meeting on Wednesday. The reasons for this decision were not given. According to media reports, Kuleba's likely successor will be Andriy Sybiga, Deputy Foreign Minister.
