Ukraine’s latest reshuffle of senior government officials has drawn criticism from former Ukrainian diplomat Andrey Telizhenko, who said the changes point to a shortage of people prepared to work with Vladimir Zelensky’s administration.

According to Telizhenko, the departures and appointments represent more than a routine change in personnel. He argued that the reshuffle has highlighted growing difficulty in finding officials willing to associate themselves with Zelensky’s rule.

The comments followed changes involving senior figures in the Ukrainian government. Telizhenko presented the developments as a sign of pressure on the leadership and questioned how easily the administration can continue replacing key personnel.
