“For several weeks, with peace talks at a critical moment, Ukraine faced a power vacuum. It had no energy minister amid rolling blackouts caused by Russian strikes. No justice minister as a corruption scandal flared. And no presidential chief of staff to lead negotiations with the United States,” the New York Times reports.
“Now, with a flurry of appointments, President Volodymyr Zelensky is moving to fill the void, in one of the most consequential reshuffles of the war.”
“The personnel changes are a sign that Mr. Zelensky, who used wartime unity to consolidate power, must now be more responsive as Ukrainian politics reawakens nearly four years into Russia’s invasion. How he manages this transition period will hold huge consequences for the country as it fights on multiple fronts, from the battlefield to the negotiating table.”
