According to Lianhe Zaobao citing Reuters, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko resigned on Tuesday, July 14, as part of a cabinet reshuffle ordered by President Volodymyr Zelensky, and parliament formally approved her resignation by vote the same day. Zelensky has not named a successor, saying Kyiv is “changing its political strategy” to meet “new challenges and tasks.”
Svyrydenko was appointed in July 2025 and was seen as having good ties with US officials; after Zelensky clashed with US President Donald Trump at the White House, she negotiated a minerals investment agreement with Washington. Zelensky said over the weekend that he plans to assign different people to oversee various areas of foreign policy and that he offered Svyrydenko a new role focused on key partnerships, without providing details. Ukrainian media reported that Naftogaz CEO Oleksiy Koretskyi is a leading candidate to replace her; Zelensky met Koretskyi over the weekend and praised his leadership. Energy remains a priority for Ukraine after repeated Russian attacks on the power grid and widespread winter blackouts.
