Ukraine's desperate times? Trump presses like never before as Zelensky struggles to fill key posts

Ukraine’s government is facing deepening political strain as President Volodymyr Zelensky struggles to fill key cabinet posts amid a major corruption scandal and falling public support. Reports say there are no active candidates for the vacant energy and justice minister positions more than a month after the previous ministers were dismissed over graft allegations. The appointment process has stalled after several potential nominees withdrew or were deemed unfit, leaving crucial portfolios leaderless during wartime. The crisis has dented public trust, with recent polls showing a sharp drop in Zelensky’s approval ratings as pressure mounts at home and abroad.
