Kiev: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is also leaving his post as part of a major government reshuffle after two and a half years of war.
The 43-year-old career diplomat took over the Foreign Ministry in 2020, before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine.
Parliamentary Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk on Wednesday posted a photograph on his Facebook page of Kuleba’s handwritten request to step down from the government.
The speaker said that the request would be discussed at a future parliamentary session. Kuleba’s application is one of numerous resignations since Tuesday that were also published on Stefanchuk’s Facebook page.
Olexander Kamyshin, who is responsible for the defence industry, Justice Minister Denys Maliuska and Environment Minister Ruslan Strilets also announced their resignations. (DPA)
