Government officials do not comment on the situation publicly, but coalition factions confirm that «rotations in the Cabinet are being prepared».
Who can lead the recovery effort
According to the interlocutors, the following are being considered for Kuleba's replacement Oksana Markarova - former Minister of Finance and former Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States.
