Ukraine’s parliament approved a new cabinet, which must fix the country’s economy and tackle a rebellion that has ignited the worst standoff between Russia and its Cold War enemies since the fall of the Iron Curtain.
With fighting against pro-Russian separatists hammering the economy, President Petro Poroshenko granted citizenship to three foreigners to let them take ministerial posts. Lawmakers voted 288 against 1 with 30 abstentions to approve the cabinet today, as Russia and NATO exchanged recriminations over the conflict that has killed more than 4,300 people.
