Quote: “I have already spoken about resetting our Cabinet of Ministers, many of its ministries.
I am very grateful to the ministers and the entire Cabinet team who have been working for Ukraine, for the sake of Ukrainians, for four and a half years, and some for five years. We need new energy today, and these steps are linked to strengthening our state in various areas.
International politics and diplomacy are no exception. Today I cannot predict what this or that minister will do after resignation. We will get answers when they are offered certain positions. It is too early to talk about it now.”
