Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has become the latest member of the country’s Cabinet to step down as part of a major government reshuffle, parliamentary speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk announced on Wednesday.

Stefanchuk said lawmakers would discuss the request shortly. A parliamentary vote, one that is usually considered a formality, is expected by the end of the day.

In his letter, Kuleba, 43, gave no reason for his move.

Several ministers already stepped down on Tuesday, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying changes to the government are necessary to strengthen it and achieve Kyiv’s aims amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
