HUNDREDS of protesters gathered in Kiev today after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed his defence minister, as part of a major government reshuffle.

Ukraine’s parliament approved Serhii Koretskyi, the head of state fossil fuel company Naftogaz, as the country’s new prime minister today.

Mr Zelensky nominated him, arguing that he was best placed to help prepare Ukraine for another wartime winter. He was approved in a 289-1 vote, with 21 abstentions.
