Solskyi denied the allegations, but offered his resignation the following day. In Thursday’s vote, the parliament accepted his resignation.
Kubrakov — tasked with infrastructure and reconstruction of the war-torn country — was also dismissed by the legislature in the reshuffle, though according to a Facebook post following the vote, this came as a surprise.
“I am always ready for an open dialogue and a detailed report on the work of the Ministry in all areas of my responsibility,” Kubrakov wrote, adding that neither parliamentary head of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s ruling party nor PM Shmyhal had discussed his removal with him.
Zelenskyy predicted in March that more staff changes would be imminent. “We continue to reboot our state institutions,” he said then.
