The outgoing officials include five regional governors, four deputy ministers and a senior presidential official seen as close to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as the Russian invasion enters its 12th month.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sacked over a dozen senior officials following corruption allegations, in Ukraine's biggest political shake-up of the war so far.

The outgoing officials include five regional governors, four deputy ministers and a senior presidential office official seen as close to Mr Zelenskyy, who had announced on Monday there would be "personnel decisions — some today, some tomorrow".changes had been planned for a while "This is simultaneously an intensification of the fight against corruption, and a reaction from the president … to critical articles in the media," Mr Fesenko told Reuters.

The shake-up was made all the more striking coming amid a deep freeze in domestic politics that has held throughout the war as political rivalries were largely set aside to focus on the fight for national survival.Deputy defence minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov tendered his resignation after a local media report over the weekend accused the defence ministry of paying inflated prices for supplies of food, an old trick used by corrupt officials to skim off money.
