Ukraine's Zelensky orders government reshuffle, new PM

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a major reshuffle of the government on Sunday, proposing the replacement of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and the heads of some law enforcement agencies. Zelensky did not say who would replace Svyrydenko or elaborate on the reasons for the changes.

Zelensky nominated Svyrydenko to the role of prime minister last year. In a statement on X, Zelensky listed a number of tasks that Ukraine needed to undertake, including making progress towards joining the European Union and strengthening its border areas. He also said he planned to assign different people to manage different areas of foreign policy.
