Ukraine’s prime minister steps down as Zelenskyy announces government reshuffle
- On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced plans to replace Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, initiating a government reshuffle to "ensure the implementation of an updated political strategy."

- Under Ukrainian law, the Prime Minister's resignation triggers the entire Cabinet's departure, requiring MPs to approve the transition and finalize government changes.
- Opposition lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak reported Svyrydenko may become ambassador to the United States, while MPs suggest successors include Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal and Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
