Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko stepped down on Sunday. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the change as part of a government reshuffle, stating he offered Svyrydenko a new, important position. Zelensky, who continues to lead under martial law due to wartime election prohibitions, periodically reshuffles his government to inject fresh momentum. Svyrydenko, previously Ukraine's economy minister, was appointed prime minister in July 2025. Her prior role included securing a mineral agreement between Ukraine and the United States, which was viewed as a way to link US interests with Ukraine's security.
