Ukraine Politics: As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its fourth year, a major shift in Ukraine's political direction has been observed. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has presented a proposal in Parliament to make Yulia Svyrydenko the country's new Prime Minister. The current Prime Minister, Denys Shmyhal, is preparing to be assigned the charge of Defense Minister. This change is considered a significant step towards giving a new dimension to the country's war policy and defense system.
Announcement of Change in Prime Minister Post
President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has proposed a major reshuffle in the country's government, removing Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and appointing Yulia Svyrydenko as the new Prime Minister. This proposal has now been placed before the country's parliament and is widely expected to be passed.
New Responsibility Given to Shmyhal
After stepping down from the post of Prime Minister, Denys Shmyhal has been decided to be given the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense. During the war, the Ministry of Defense is a major department, whose budget and decisions directly affect the country's security. Shmyhal was appointed Prime Minister on March 4, 2020, and he became the longest-serving Prime Minister of Ukraine.
Who is Yulia Svyrydenko?
Yulia Svyrydenko is currently serving as the First Vice Prime Minister and Economy Minister. She played an important role in the Ukraine-America mineral agreement and represented the country in several high-level meetings with Western countries. Under her leadership, economic diplomacy was strengthened and international cooperation increased.
President Zelenskyy recently shared a picture with Yulia and Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, hinting that the government's primary objective in the coming six months will be to promote indigenous weapons manufacturing. Along with this, special attention will also be paid to ensuring the supply of drones.
