Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, explaining that the government is shifting its political direction. Svyrydenko, appointed in July 2025 after helping negotiate a minerals deal with the United States, confirmed her departure on social media and said she remains ready to serve. Zelensky indicated she will take on a new role handling ties with a key international partner. The leader also plans to replace top law enforcement officials and has met with ministers of energy, interior, and defense. This marks the fourth major cabinet shake-up since Russia’s full-scale invasion began. Zelensky, who continues in office under martial law due to the ban on wartime elections, has periodically reorganized his administration to sustain momentum.
