Ukraine has appointed Yuliia Svyrydenko as its new prime minister, marking the first leadership change since Russia's invasion in 2022.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asked First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Monday to lead a new government, setting the stage for a political reshuffle as Ukraine's war with Russia raged on.

The reshuffle came just as Trump announced a new program to sell weapons to Ukraine in his most forceful declaration of support for Kyiv to date.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s former economy minister Yuliia Svyrydenko appointed as prime minister, replacing Denys Shmyhal.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Tuesday he had submitted a resignation letter, as part of the country's largest wartime governmental reshuffle expected this week.
