Berlin, July 12 (EFE).- Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Sunday a major government reshuffle, saying he he intended to replace the country’s Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
“Ukraine is changing its political strategy. Each priority area of foreign policy will be assigned to a specific person with substantial experience who is capable of implementing what we agree on at the leaders’ level and what the Ukrainian people expect,” Zelenskyy wrote on social media.
He said personnel changes will begin in Ukraine “to ensure the implementation of the updated political strategy,” which includes the departure after just one year in office of Prime Minister Sviridenko, who will take on a new role in foreign policy.
Svyrydenko was appointed as prime minister in July 2025.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s foreign policy priorities include relations with the US, particularly agreements on licenses to manufacture Patriot missiles and other forms of bilateral security cooperation, which he said should produce tangible benefits for both countries and their companies.
