Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has gone tough on five of his envoys sacking all including the official to India.
Others to lose job after Zelensky's decree appeared on the president's website include ambassadors to Germany, Czech Republic, Norway and Hungary.
It is not yet known what prompted the president to suddenly remove them or whether they would be given new jobs.
Zelensky had earlier asked his foreign officials to amass international support and military aids, which still remains shallow.
Kyiv's relation with Germany appears to be very touchy as Germany is heavily reliant on Russian energy supplies.
Alongside, a German-made turbine, used for pumping up gas, is getting maintenance in Canada which Germany wants to be returned to Russian gas giant Gazprom to streamline gas supply to Europe.
Kyiv however wanted Canada to stall its shipping to Russia as it is facing sanctions.
