Zelensky purges Ukrainian ministers
The Ukrainian leader’s top diplomat is reportedly on the chopping block after a wave of firings and resignations
(Geez this is like his tenth time purging ministers and government leaders, maybe he should purge himself)
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has initiated an apparent purge of senior officials, sacking the deputy head of his office on Tuesday and accepting resignation letters from three ministers, as well as the country’s deputy prime minister.
Zelensky’s deputy head of office, Rostislav Shurma, was fired on Tuesday, according to a decree posted on the office’s website. No reason was given for his dismissal.
Writing on Facebook shortly afterwards,the speaker of Ukraine’s parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, said that Vice Prime Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanishina, Minister for Strategic Industries Aleksandr Kamyshin, Minister of Justice Denis Maliuski, and Minister of Environmental Protection Ruslan Strilets had all handed in resignation letters.
Zelensky is also considering firing Foreign Minister Dmitry (Big Fat Crybaby) Kuleba and multiple other officials, Ukrainian media reported, citing anonymous sources.
Since the conflict with Russia began in 2022, Zelensky has periodically purged senior military and political officials. The former commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, Valery Zaluzhny, was fired earlier this year after Ukraine lost – according to Russia – roughly 160,000 men in last summer’s disastrous counteroffensive.
