00:00Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba resigned on Wednesday ahead of an anticipated

00:05major government reshuffle following another wave of Russian attacks that killed at least

00:09seven people, including a child.

00:13As one of the most prominent figures in President Zelensky's administration, Kuleba was responsible

00:18for managing relations with foreign officials and was widely regarded as a capable and steady

00:23leader.

00:24His resignation comes just before Zelensky's expected visit to the United States later

00:29this month.

00:30Kuleba's departure is part of a broader series of resignations.

00:35Within the past day, two vice premiers, three ministers, the head of the state property

00:40fund, and a top official in the presidential office have all stepped down.

00:45Parliament must approve these resignations before they take effect.

00:49While Kuleba's resignation is pending a vote, parliament has already approved some of the

00:54other ministers' exits.

00:56The reshuffle occurs at a critical moment for Ukraine, with increasing military pressure

01:00on the Eastern Front, particularly around the key city of Pokrovsk, which is at risk

01:05of falling to Russian forces.

01:08Zelensky has not publicly explained the reshuffle, but indicated in a recent address that this

01:12fall will be crucial for Ukraine, and state institutions must be equipped to achieve necessary

01:18results.

01:19Kuleba and other officials who resigned are expected to take on new roles within Zelensky's

01:24administration.

01:26The reshuffle is seen as part of Zelensky's preparation for his upcoming trip to the United

01:30States, where he is expected to attend the UN General Assembly and meet President Joe

01:35Biden.

01:37The timing of the reshuffle suggests that Zelensky is aiming to bring fresh energy to

01:41his government, with over half of the Cabinet of Ministers expected to be replaced this

01:45week.

01:47One of the notable resignations is the Minister for Strategic Industries, who oversaw weapons

01:52production and is expected to move to another defense-related role.

01:56Meanwhile, Kuleba expressed concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin may increase

02:01air attacks on Ukraine as winter approaches, aiming to cripple Ukraine's infrastructure

02:06and economy.

02:08Kuleba emphasized the urgent need for Ukraine to receive more air defense systems to counter

02:13these attacks.
