The Ukrainian parliament accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Monday, after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced over the weekend that he planned to reshuffle his cabinet and asked her to step aside.
"Every day this year demanded difficult decisions and decisive action. I am deeply grateful for the trust and support I received. You also know that I have always believed results matter most," Svyrydenko said in her farewell speech.
Zelenskyy did not say who would replace Svyrydenko, but the Kyiv Independent reported, citing unnamed sources, that it could be Serhii Koretskyi, CEO of Ukraine's largest national oil and gas company, Naftogaz.
