Volodymyr Zelenskiy says the country needs ‘new energy’ as he names Andrii Sybiha and seven other ministers
Photograph: Vitalii Nosach/EPAPhotograph: Vitalii Nosach/EPAUkraine’s parliament has approved the appointment of Andrii Sybiha as its new foreign minister, replacing Dmytro Kuleba as part of the biggest government reshuffle since the full-scale Russian invasion.
Others have raised eyebrows over the timing of the reshuffle, amid a recent increase in Russian missile attacks on Ukraine. Russian forces are inching forward in the east and have stepped up their campaign of missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities far from the frontline, hitting the power sector and other infrastructure in almost daily attacks.The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said on Thursday that Ukraine’s incursion into the Russian region of Kursk had failed to slow Russia’s own advance in eastern Ukraine and had weakened Kyiv’s defences along the frontline in a boost to Moscow.
