Several ministers, including the top diplomat, submitted resignations as part of an overhaul that Zelensky said is designed to improve ties with the West and increase weapons production.

The reorganization of the administration comes as Russia unleashes a new wave of aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities, including one on Lviv that killed seven overnight.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stepped down from his role on Wednesday following the resignations of several other members of the cabinet amid a wide-ranging reshuffle of the Ukrainian government, the largest since Russia’s full-scale invasion more than two years ago.
