Ukraine’s parliament speaker has announced that Kuleba has submitted his letter of resignation.
Dmytro Kuleba has resigned from his position as Ukraine’s foreign minister.
Parliament speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk said on Facebook on Wednesday that Kuleba had submitted his resignation request and that it will be discussed by MPs at the next plenary meeting.
Since taking office in 2020, Kuleba has been a key figure in Ukraine’s efforts to fight off Russia’s full-scale invasion, travelling across the world to secure allies and mobilise support from the country’s international partners.
Domestic media has been awash with rumours in recent days that Kuleba would be dismissed and that his replacement was still under consideration.
The name at the forefront appears to be Deputy Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, according to reports.
