Appointed by President Zelensky in 2020 at age 43, Kuleba was Ukraine's youngest foreign minister and a key figure in the government.
The son of an ambassador, the bespectacled career diplomat is one of the most talented public speakers in Ukrainian politics.
Kuleba became a familiar face in the West after the Russian invasion in 2022, championing Kyiv's position and appealing for weapons.
He submitted his resignation on Wednesday, Sept. 4. in the framework of a broader government reshuffle in Ukraine, as several high-ranking officials stepped down earlier this week.
