Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has submitted his resignation, the country’s parliamentary speaker announced Wednesday, marking the latest major change in Kyiv’s leadership amid the largest government shake-up since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
The reorganization of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s wartime administration comes at a critical moment for Ukraine, as Russian forces push forward in the east and unleash a new wave of attacks on cities. Overnight into Wednesday, seven people were killed by strikes in the western city of Lviv, which is normally far from the fighting and attacked less frequently than others.
Kuleba, who has served as foreign minister since 2020, was a key voice in Ukraine’s drive to obtain foreign weapons from allies and to push partners to loosen restrictions on how those weapons are used, particularly to combat such bombardments.

Enough already with this torture of Ukraine, help them to win, not to bleed out.
This will be remembered (if the climate change won't wipe us out) as shameful and stupid Western procrastination.
If Ukraine falls the West falls, so what are we waiting for precisely?

The US voters need to vote for the Democrats in November. We need a majority in House and Senate as well as the White House.
Supposedly we don’t want to provoke Putin nor give him an excuse to use nuclear weapons, but he’s chronically aggrieved and his excuses for making war against innocents have been transparent all along. Appeasement only encourages bullies, it doesn’t hold them back.
Unleash Ukraine already!!
Let Ukraine attack Russian forces deeper inside Russia; Russia’s been doing that since day number one. It’s the nature of war—military targets are fair game, no matter where they are located. God forbid NATO ever has to fight Russia—but if we did, do you think we would limit ourselves the way we have limited Ukraine? Of course not.

Just so long as the changes don't affect Ukraine's war efforts. The Ukrainians deserve to win this war, and take Putin down a few pegs.
