The Verkhovna Rada reappointed Andriy Sibiga as Ukraine's foreign minister
On August 19, the Verkhovna Rada approved the appointment of Andriy Sybiga as Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs. Sybiga has thus once again taken the helm of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
The decision was supported by 266 members of parliament.
Ukraine needs to develop a mechanism for holding elections even in wartime, ensuring the right to vote for all citizens. This view was expressed on August 18 by former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
As a reminder, on August 18, the Verkhovna Rada received nominations from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to appoint Yevhen Khmara as Minister of Defense of Ukraine and Andriy Sybiga as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The Verkhovna Rada prematurely terminated the mandates of People’s Deputies Denys Maslov and Vitaliy Bezgin, who were members of the “Servant of the People” faction. Parliament adopted the relevant resolutions at a plenary session on July 17.
