sep 4, 2024 - Zelenskiy Reshuffle Begins as Lviv Suffers Attack

Description:

Two people were killed and residential buildings were on fire in Lviv, officials reported, as Ukraine’s military said Russia had launched missiles and drones on Wednesday morning against the western Ukrainian city as well as the capital, Kyiv. Neighbouring Poland activated aircraft on Wednesday for the third time in eight days “due to the observed activity of the long-range aviation of the Russian Federation carrying out strikes”, said its military command.

A reshuffle of Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s government began on Tuesday as several Ukrainian ministers resigned ahead of their expected replacement, while a presidential aide was dismissed. Iryna Vereshchuk, a deputy prime minister and minister for reintegration, wrote online: “Rebooting … after almost three years in the government, [I submitted my] resignation today. I thank the president for his trust, thank you to the prime minister and members of the government for their cooperation … Thanks to the team of the ministry of reintegration for their work and dedication!”
