Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced her resignation on Sunday after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed plans for a broad government reshuffle aimed at reshaping the country's political strategy, reports AP.
In a statement posted on social media, Svyrydenko said she was proud to have led the government during one of the most challenging periods in Ukraine's modern history.
She said she had discussed her future role with Zelenskyy and remained ready to continue serving the country in any capacity that would help strengthen Ukraine, protect its national interests and advance efforts toward a just peace.
Svyrydenko, 39, took office as prime minister in July 2025 after serving as economy minister.
She played a key role in negotiating a minerals agreement with the United States, which was widely viewed as an important step in reinforcing US support for Ukraine's security.
Announcing the changes, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was revising its political strategy and that Svyrydenko had been offered responsibility for "a new, important area" of relations with one of the country's key international partners.
The president said each major area of Ukraine's foreign policy would be assigned to experienced officials capable of implementing agreements reached at the leadership level and meeting public expectations.
Zelenskyy also indicated that the reshuffle would include changes in the senior leadership of Ukraine's law enforcement agencies.
