Ukraine parliament approves energy executive Koretskyi as new PM
Ukraine's parliament backs Naftogaz chief Serhii Koretskyi as Prime Minister with 289 votes, as President Zelenskyy seeks an energy expert to prepare the nation for winter.
- On Thursday, the Verkhovna Rada approved Naftogaz CEO Serhii Koretskyi as Prime Minister with 289 votes, marking a major government reshuffle initiated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- Following Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko's resignation on July 14, her entire Cabinet automatically departed, prompting President Zelenskyy to dismiss Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov after six months in office.
- Hundreds of protesters gathered in Kyiv on Thursday opposing Fedorov's exit, with resident Bohdan Huryak stating he was "deeply outraged" by removing a leader who delivered battlefield results.
- Prime Minister Koretskyi outlined immediate priorities including winter preparations, economic stability support, and strengthening international partnerships while advancing Ukraine's accession to the European Union.
- Fedorov, credited with modernizing military drone technology and e-government platforms, departs after six months amid reported tensions with Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine's armed forces commander.
