Foreign Minister Kuleba's dismissal "urgently postponed"

The Verkhovna Rada has "urgently" postponed the dismissal of Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Wednesday, 4 September. 

Yaroslav Zhelezniak, an MP from the Holos (Voice) faction, said that during a series of personnel changes voted on by the government, the issue of dismissing Foreign Minister Kuleba was "urgently postponed". 

The reason for the delay is currently not specified.

On the morning of 4 September, Kuleba submitted his resignation letter. The ruling Servant of the People party stated that they saw no reason for the Foreign Minister's resignation.

Ukrainska Pravda sources said that Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, is reportedly being considered to replace Denys Maliuska as Ukraine’s Justice Minister. As a result, Stefanishyna will vacate her current position.

On 4 September, Davyd Arakhamiia, leader of the Servant of the People faction, announced a 'major government reboot,' during which 'more than 50% of the Cabinet's staff' would be replaced.
