Zelensky Asks PM Sviridenko to Resign; Media Speculate on Potential Candidates
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced a change in political strategy and asked Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko to resign, to which she has agreed. Ukrainian media have begun listing several possible candidates for the next prime minister.
Ukraine is set for a government reshuffle after President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a shift in political strategy that requires a new cabinet. At the end of last week, he asked current Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko to step down, and she has reportedly agreed to do so.
The move signals Zelensky's intent to adjust the country's governance direction amid the ongoing war. Sviridenko, who has held the post since 2022, expressed readiness to resign, though a specific timeline has not been set.
Several names have already emerged in Ukrainian media as potential successors for the prime minister position. These include figures with backgrounds in economics and security, though no official confirmation has been provided. Analysts suggest this could be part of a broader government rotation aimed at strengthening executive power and improving inter-institutional cooperation.
