KYIV — Ukraine’s parliament voted Thursday to appoint Andrii Sybiha, the country’s former ambassador to Turkey and past deputy head of the presidential office, as foreign minister, just hours after accepting the resignation of his predecessor, Dmytro Kuleba.
A cabinet reshuffle this week, which saw several top officials submit resignations — and in some cases be quickly appointed to positions elsewhere in the leadership — comes as President Volodymyr Zelensky faces what he has acknowledged will be a critical period in the war.
Thirty months into Moscow’s full-scale invasion, Russian troops are advancing in the east, Ukrainian troops control a swath of land in Russia, energy infrastructure is badly damaged across Ukraine, and looming U.S. elections could affect a partnership that has, until now, been key to Kyiv’s fight.
