There has been some major news over the past few days.
The first is a new reshuffle in Ukraine’s cabinet – PM Svyrydenko is already out, but so far there are no concrete updates on where she’ll go and who’ll replace her. More importantly – why the reshuffle?
Another is the news of US Senator Lindsey Graham’s passing, days after visiting a secret Ukrainian drone factory. There are no signs of foul play for now – and while Graham has been, let’s say, controversial, he has also been one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine, so we’ll leave it at that. Zelensky had offered his condolences.
Then comes this morning’s attack on Moscow as Ukraine continues targeting Russia’s energy sites, with the fuel crisis having gotten so bad – alongside Kyiv’s hitting 105 shadow fleet tankers within 8 days – that teachers were reportedly deployed to gas stations in some regions to manage the crisis.
Zelensky is also in Paris to rally support for the “anti-ballistic” program and attend a Coalition of the Willing summit, so we’ll see what comes out of that.
