Reuters. Ukrainian parliament on Thursday (September 5) appointed first deputy foreign minister Andrii Sybiha as Ukraine's new foreign minister, lawmakers said.
The nomination of Sybiha is part of the largest reshuffle of Ukraine's government since the start of the war in February 2022, with Zelenskiy saying the country needs "new energy."
Sybiha, a career diplomat, worked for several years in Zelenskiy's office, overseeing foreign policy and strategic partnerships.
Analysts have said they expect no change in Ukraine's foreign policy. During the war with Russia, the foreign minister has often played second fiddle to the president's office on many key matters of foreign policy.
Parliament is also expected to appoint eight other new ministers on Thursday as part of the government reset.
