The Pipl (11 July) : As Ukraine`s deputy prime minister has urged civilians in the Russian-occupied southern region of Kherson to urgently evacuate as Ukraine`s armed forces are preparing a counter-attack there, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced to re-shuffle his cabinet to cut down on corruption and secure global confidence subsequently for post-war planning. In a recent decision, Zelensky dismissed Ukrainian ambassadors to the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Norway and India on Saturday, calling it a usual diplomatic practice in a video address, The Hill reported.
“This rotation is a normal part of diplomatic practice,” he said, adding that the forthcoming week will bring “important news” from government officials. This cabinet shuffle will add to fundamental changes for Ukraine`s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zelensky said, claiming that the decision would further strengthen Ukraine`s relations with other nations.
After a conference in Lugano, Switzerland, to discuss Ukraine`s reconstruction last week, countries signed on to the “Lugano Declaration,” a document calling for increased government transparency and a crackdown on corruption in order to facilitate postwar recovery, reported The Hill, citing sources.
During the conference, Zelensky announced a USD 750 billion recovery plan, calling for support from allies internationally. The plan would funnel funds into key infrastructures such as water and gas and support the rebuilding of hospitals, schools and homes, requiring “colossal investments — billions, new technologies, best practices, new institutions and, of course, reforms,” the president said in a July 2 address.
