The Ukrainian Parliament has approved the resignation of Prime Minister Julia Swyrydenko and her entire government, with 258 lawmakers voting in favor. Swyrydenko submitted her resignation after discussions with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who initiated a government reshuffle. The new prime minister under consideration is Serhiy Korneev, currently head of the state energy company Naftogaz. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov could also be replaced. Zelenskyy holds constitutional authority to propose candidates for defense and foreign affairs ministers, while the government coalition proposes the prime minister. Reports suggest Swyrydenko may become Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, replacing Olena Stefaniuk, who stepped down due to corruption investigations related to property purchases during the early stages of the war. This marks the second change in the prime minister since Russia’s invasion in February 2022, and if Fedorov is replaced, it would be the fourth leadership change in the critical defense ministry.
