Will “Zelensky” fire the foreign minister of Ukraine?
According to Rashatodi, the local media of Ukraine, quoting informed sources, announced that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, is considering the dismissal of the country’s Foreign Minister, Dmitry Kuleba.
Kolba, 42 years old, has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine since March 2020. Before that, he was the deputy prime minister for the Euro-Atlantic integration and Ukraine’s envoy to the Council of Europe.
“Estrana” website, quoting informed sources that it did not mention by name, added: There are many questions about Kolba; “In particular, there are many complaints and complaints regarding the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ nominations for embassies.”
According to this knowledgeable source, “Zelensky’s office is not satisfied with the Foreign Ministry in general.”
This Ukrainian media report is published in a situation where “Oleg Nikolenko”, the main spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, recently published a picture of himself and Kolba in cyberspace and announced that he has resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine without providing details.
According to Strana, the “most likely candidate” for Ukraine’s new foreign minister is Igor Zhukova, the deputy head of Zelensky’s office, which oversees the foreign policy of the presidential office.
At the end of February, “Rostam Umerov”, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, announced that “Valery Zalogheny”, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was dismissed. At the same time, Sputnik also reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Alexander Sersky as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Earlier, Rashatody reported that Zelensky not only intends to fire Valery Zalogeny, the Commander-in-Chief of the country’s armed forces but also the Chief of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army is next on his list. These two commanders had a disagreement with Zelensky after the failed summer offensive of Kyiv against Russia. After Ukraine’s summer offensive against Russia, Zalozhenny described the battleground state as a “deadlock” given the waning support of Kyiv’s Western backers, an assessment Zelensky strongly rejected.
Some reports indicate that Zalogeni was not in harmony with America and England in war strategies in recent months, and this was the main reason for his dismissal.
