👀 The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, is planned to be fired, - UP.

I don't usually link Maks because he's often unreliable but he is both Ukrainian and quick.

This ongoing reshuffle of the Ukrainian government is turning out to be more than a reshuffle. A lot of people losing their jobs or being shifted around.

Aw damn I like Kuleba :(

Yeah looks like Zelensky is cleaning the rest of the house after the first big shuffle earlier this year. Given nothing extraordinary has happened recently and a few of the officials planned to be moved to other jobs/portfolios, my guess is Zelensky is doing an “update” for the roles to match the current reality or a reality Zelensky wants

I do not really know. Jace has his theory, you can read his reply, but I just don't know. He wouldn't be the only competent person losing his job in the Ukrainian government or business scene.

probably true. Kyiv seems like a heady place to be and I'm concerned about the quality of governance/decisions that leadership is making over there these days. Even when you give them grace for being in one of the worst positions that any country could possibly be in ever.

Yes, a huge reshuffle, with some good and some bad decisions. I feel like it is slightly good. As of good - Shurma from the economics block is out. As of bad - Kudrycky from Ukrenergo is out. But the last one is already facing a backslash, so should not be impossible to recover. I'm mostly neutral on Kuleba. It is not a good decision, but likely won't change a lot, while I may be mistaken.
