Ukraine has appointed Yuliia Svyrydenko as its new prime minister, marking a major government reshuffle aimed at strengthening defence, streamlining ministries, and redefining relations with key international allies during ongoing war with Russia.
Ukraine’s parliament confirmed Yuliia Svyrydenko as the country’s new prime minister with 262 votes in favour.
A 39-year-old economist, Svyrydenko had previously served as first deputy prime minister and economy minister. She replaces Denys Shmyhal, who held the position for five years and is now expected to become defence minister.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed the reshuffle during a parliamentary session, emphasizing the need for a new approach to diplomatic relations with the U.S. and enhanced coordination with Ukraine’s military partners. He also called for a comprehensive audit of all military aid agreements.
As part of the reshuffle, Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov will be promoted to first deputy prime minister. Meanwhile, the Economy, Ecology, and Agriculture ministries will be consolidated under Oleksii Sobolev.
Denys Uliutin will head the newly named Ministry for Social Policy, Family, and Unity, and Svitlana Hrynchuk will take over as energy minister, with former minister Herman Halushchenko set to lead the Justice Ministry.
President Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People party holds a majority in parliament, allowing swift approval of the new cabinet.
