In a significant government reshuffle, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has replaced half of his administration, including the dismissal of Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. This move comes amidst escalating Russian attacks, including a devastating missile strike in Lviv that resulted in seven deaths and numerous injuries. Zelensky emphasized the need for 'new energy' in his government to bolster Ukraine's international diplomacy and morale as the war continues.
The recent Russian offensive has severely impacted Ukraine's infrastructure, with attacks on critical facilities causing widespread devastation. The strike on Poltava, which killed at least 51 people, highlights the ongoing threat posed by Russia and the urgent need for enhanced military support from Western allies. Zelensky has called for increased air defense systems and long-range strike capabilities to counter these threats effectively.
