At a crucial juncture of the war against Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky has undertaken a major reshuffle of his government, insisting “new energy” in government was needed “today.”

“These steps are only associated with strengthening our state in various sectors — international politics and diplomacy are no exception,” he said on Sept. 4 during a press conference in Kyiv with Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris.

While lawmakers and political analysts close to the president told the Kyiv Independent the reshuffle is a way of bringing “new energy” to a tired government apparatus, those who are critical of Zelensky say it’s more about the President’s Office, run by Andriy Yermak, willing to consolidate power even more.

    The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.
