7 POSITIONS FIRED OR RESIGN
FOREIGN MINISTER DMITRY KULEBA RESIGNS
A good portion of Ukraine's government has been replaced overnight as Zelensky has fired, among others, Deputy Prime minister for European affairs, Minister of strategic industries, Minister of Justice, Minister of environmental protection. This led to the resignation of well respected Foreign minister Dmitry Kuleba. Whether that is all or there are more to come one can only guess.
It is pivotal time for Ukraine as the Kursk offensive is contained with a reported loss of near 9000 troops. The eastern front is rapidly collapsing as a shortage of men and materials, coupled with exhausted troops, has resulted in a severe loss of morale. The news out of Kiev will most likely increase the anxiety and uncertainty of the troops. It may be increasingly difficult to risk ones life in a rapidly deteriorating situation.
Whether these changes were instituted by Zelenky or demanded by Washington is a good question. Maybe Lindsey Graham can fly over and give them a pep talk.
Many claim that Zelinsky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, a former film producer, is the most powerful man in the government and is making most of the decisions.
These newest changes have followed major changes in the defense and military earlier in the year. It is unlikely that these changes will be able to change the momentum or the fundamental basics that have resulted in this catastrophe for Ukraine.
