Ukraine gets new Foreign Minister in its biggest cabinet reshuffle

Ukraine's ambassador to Japan Sergiy Korsunsky has been slammed on Chinese social media for visiting the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, with some&nbsp;netizens calling it an 'insult' to the Chinese people.&nbsp;

The envoy visited the shrine, on Tuesday (Sep 3)&nbsp;which coincided with commemorations in China of the 79th anniversary of the end of what Beijing calls the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World Anti-Fascist War.&nbsp;

The shrine commemorates Japan's war dead, including 14 'Class-A' war criminals. In the past, Beijing&nbsp;has been seen protesting against official visits to the shrine and performing associated rituals there.

Chinese social media&nbsp;was flooded with criticism after the Ukrainian embassy in Japan posted pictures of the envoy's visit on X.&nbsp; However, they deleted the post later.&nbsp;

The post stated&nbsp;that Korsunsky performed a ritual hand washing before visiting the shrine, where he left a handwritten message.&nbsp;

<h2>Visit to shrine 'disrespectful'&nbsp;to China</h2>

Niutanqin, a WeChat account affiliated with state news agency Xinhua, on Thursday said that Korsunsky’s visit was “disrespectful” to China.&nbsp;

The hashtag “Ukrainian ambassador to Japan worshipped ghosts” was also trending.
