Ukraine Cabinet Reshuffles as EU Leaders Visit Kyiv
Elections in Slovakia are set for 30 September, while Estonia and Lithuania prepare for elections on 5 March. The European Parliament voted in favour of more transparency in political advertising - what this means for upcoming elections and more. Ukraine's cabinet reshuffled - the Defence Minister will now be replaced by the Head of Ukraine Military Intelligence. The reshuffling occurs after a major corruption scandal involving the pricing of food purchases for the military embroiled the defence ministry. In the second part of the podcast, Editorial Director Miles Maftean sits down with Pavel Havlicek, Research Fellow at the Association for International Affairs (AMO), and breaks down what was at stake and what was accomplished during the 3 February visit of Ursula von der Leyen and most of her European commission visiting Kyiv.
