Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, one of Ukraine’s most recognisable faces on the international stage, submitted his resignation Wednesday ahead of an expected major government reshuffle. Kuleba, 43, didn’t give a reason for stepping down. Four other Cabinet ministers also tendered their resignations, making the Cabinet reshuffle likely the biggest since Russia’s February 2022 invasion.
