The new Minister of Foreign Affairs will be Andriy Sybiha, the current deputy of Dmytro Kuleba. The Ministry of Regional Development will be headed by Oleksiy Kuleba. However, the department will subsequently be divided into the areas of infrastructure and regional policy. Olga Stefanishyna will head the Ministry of Justice.

Irina Vereshchuk will work in the Office of the President and will hold the position of the relevant deputy head of the OP.
The factions also discussed the new “Ministry of Return of Ukrainians”. They are currently looking for candidates for the position of this department.
Let us recall that on September 4, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved the dismissal of the Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Oleksandr Kamyshin, the Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Olha Stefanishyna, the Minister for Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine Ruslan Strelets, and the Minister of Justice Denis.
However, the people’s deputies did not have enough votes to dismiss Iryna Vereshchuk from the post of Vice Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration and Vitaliy Koval from the post of head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine. And the dismissal of Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba was not considered at the meeting.
