Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has invited Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko to assume the role of Prime Minister, marking a significant shift in the country’s leadership structure. The meeting between Zelenskyy and Svyrydenko took place on Monday, following discussions about the need for substantial reforms within the government to enhance efficiency and responsiveness.
Svyrydenko, who has served as Deputy Prime Minister since 2020, is known for her work on economic modernization and international cooperation. Her appointment is seen as a move to consolidate political support and streamline decision-making processes within the government. The new administration is expected to focus on key issues such as economic recovery, infrastructure development, and diplomatic relations with Western allies.
Zelenskyy’s decision to propose Svyrydenko for the role of Prime Minister reflects broader efforts to align the government with the priorities of the ruling party and to address the complex challenges faced by Ukraine. The move also signals a potential realignment of power within the executive branch, with Svyrydenko expected to play a central role in shaping the country’s future direction.
