Ukraine Parliament Appoints Yulia Svyrydenko New Prime Minister

News summary

Ukraine's parliament has appointed Yulia Svyrydenko as the new prime minister, with 262 lawmakers voting in favor of her. She replaces Denys Shmyhal following his resignation and becomes the 19th and second female prime minister of Ukraine. Svyrydenko, who previously served as economy minister and deputy prime minister, played a key role in negotiating a significant mineral resources agreement with the United States, enhancing Ukraine's ties with Washington, including the administration of President Donald Trump. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy supports her appointment as part of a cabinet reshuffle aimed at revitalizing the country, boosting domestic weapons production, and streamlining government functions amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. Her expertise as an economist and her established connections with the U.S. are seen as vital in balancing defense needs with economic development during this critical period for Ukraine.
