Andrii Sybiga will remain Ukraine’s minister of foreign affairs in the government of Serhii Koretskyi. The corresponding submission to the Verkhovna Rada was made by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Cabinet update: Recall that in July President Zelensky suddenly announced a reboot of the Cabinet. He explained the decision by saying Ukraine is changing its political strategy and therefore personnel changes are needed. Already on Tuesday, 14 July, parliament dismissed Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko. According to sources, the president offered her a post as ambassador to the United States, but she did not agree to it. They decided to appoint her acting head of Naftogaz. On 16 July, lawmakers appointed Serhii Koretskyi—former head of Naftogaz—as the new prime minister. Mykhailo Fedorov was not included in his Cabinet. Protests for his return to the post of defense minister are still ongoing. Meanwhile, Ihor Klymenko, who had been tipped for the defense minister post, moved from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the National Security and Defense Council. Composition of the new Cabinet: First Deputy Prime Minister, Ministry of Energy - Denys Shmyhal; Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration - Vsevolod Chentsov; Deputy Prime Minister, Ministry of Culture - Tetiana Berezhna; Ministry of Defense - Yevhenii Khmara; Ministry of Internal Affairs - Ivan Vyhivskyi; Minister of Finance - Serhii Marchenko; Ministry of Health - Viktor Liashko; Ministry of Sports - Matvii Bidnyi; Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Andrii Sybiga; Ministry of Social Policy - Denys Uliutin; Ministry for Veterans and IDPs - Vitalii Kim; Ministry of Education and Science - Andrii Butenko; Minister of Economy and Ecology - Oleksandr Kravchenko; Minister of Agrarian Policy - Taras Vysotskyi; Ministry of Communities and Territories Development - Vitalii Bezhin; Ministry of Infrastructure - Mykola Kalashnyk (Kyiv Regional Military Administration); Ministry of Justice - Denys Maslov; Ministry of Digital Transformation - Oksana Ferchuk.
