Zelensky aide Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted: "The president sees and hears society. And he directly responds to a key public demand - justice for all."
Several senior Ukrainian officials resigned on Tuesday in the biggest leadership shakeup of the war with Russia so far, in what an aide to President Volodymyr Zelensky called an answer to public calls for "justice".
Some, though not all, of the resignations were linked with corruption allegations. Ukraine has a history of graft and shaky governance, and is under international pressure to show it can be a reliable steward of billions of dollars in Western aid.
"There are already personnel decisions - some today, some tomorrow - regarding officials at various levels in ministries and other central government structures, as well as in the regions and in law enforcement," Zelensky said in an overnight video address.
Zelensky aide Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted: "The president sees and hears society. And he directly responds to a key public demand - justice for all."
