Breaking News: Ukraine's President Zelenskiy Nominates Andrii Sybiha as New Foreign Minister Amid War with Russia
In a critical move, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has requested parliament to confirm Andrii Sybiha as Ukraine's new foreign minister as the country faces its biggest government reshuffle since the start of the war in February 2022. Sybiha, a career diplomat who previously worked in Zelenskiy's office, is expected to bring new energy to Ukraine's foreign policy.
The nomination comes as parliament has already accepted the resignation of Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and other key government officials in the past two days. Zelenskiy is gearing up to present his "victory plan" to US President Joe Biden later this month and participate in a meeting of the Ramstein group, a key supplier of arms to Ukraine.
Despite the changes in government, analysts predict continuity in Ukraine's foreign policy. As Russian forces continue to advance in the east and escalate attacks on Ukrainian cities, Zelenskiy is urging allies to lift restrictions on Western weapons for long-range strikes into Russia.
This development underscores the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the need for global support in the face of Russian aggression. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving situation.
