Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba resigned today, following an announcement last week from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that a Cabinet reshuffle was imminent.

Kuleba’s resignation request will be discussed by lawmakers at the next plenary meeting, Speaker of parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk says on his Facebook page.

The foreign minister’s resignation came as at least seven people were killed and 35 injured in an overnight strike on Lviv, Mayor Andrii Sadovyi said Wednesday morning.

A child and a medical worker were among the dead and others are in critical condition, he said.

The attack happened a day after two ballistic missiles blasted a military academy and nearby hospital in Poltava in Ukraine, killing more than 50 people and wounding more than 200 others, Ukrainian officials said, in one of the deadliest Russian strikes since the war began.
