Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a broad government reshuffle that will include a new prime minister, as the country continues to face sustained Russian missile and drone attacks.
Outgoing Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said she was proud of her work in office and remained 'ready to serve the Ukrainian state.' Zelenskyy framed the change as necessary to strengthen wartime governance.
The reshuffle comes as Ukraine faces continued pressure both on the front line and in coordinating support from Western allies. How the new cabinet will shape defense spending and reconstruction priorities will be closely watched.
