Zelenskiy Swaps Prime Minister Role in Government Overhaul
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he'll replace his prime minister as part of a cabinet overhaul as his government seeks to boost weapons production and maintain US support in its war against Russia.
Yulia Svyrydenko, a deputy premier who took the lead in coordinating a landmark minerals deal with President Donald Trump's administration, was nominated to replace Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. Ukraine's longest-serving head of government, Shmyhal took office in 2020 and has led the government for the duration of Russia's war.
