Ukrainian FM submits resignation

KYIV (AFP) – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has submitted his resignation, the Speaker of Parliament said yesterday, as part of a major government reshuffle.

The announcement came a day after several other ministers resigned in a significant government reset.

Kuleba 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 the 2022 attack, travelled the world to advocate for Western support for Kyiv.

On Tuesday, several ministers handed their resignations, including the ministers of justice, strategic industries and environmental protection.
