Four other Cabinet ministers tendered their resignations late Tuesday.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba , one of Ukraine 's most recognizable faces on the international stage, submitted his resignation Wednesday ahead of an expected major government reshuffle. Russian strikes, meanwhile, killed at least seven people in the Ukrainian city of Lviv near the Polish border, a day after one of the deadliest missile attacks since the war began.
The Ukrainian army's risky but largely successful incursion almost a month ago into Russia's Kursk border region countered months of grim news from the front line in eastern Ukraine. During the war Kuleba has been second only to Zelenskyy in carrying Ukraine's message and needs to an international audience, whether through social media posts or meetings with foreign dignitaries. In July, Kuleba became the highest-ranking Ukrainian official to visit China since Russia's invasion. He has been foreign minister since March 2020.
More than half the current Cabinet will undergo changes, said Davyd Arakhamiia, a leader of Zelenskyy's party in the Ukrainian parliament. Ministers will be resigning on Wednesday and new appointments will be made Thursday, he said. Lviv is about 60 kilometers from the border with Poland, a NATO and European Union member and one of Ukraine's most vocal supporters.
Zelenskyy reacted to the attacks by urging Ukraine's allies to give Kyiv "more range" to use Western weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory.blasted a military academy and nearby hospital
