Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that he submitted his resignation letter on Tuesday ahead of an anticipated major government restructuring this week, as reported by Reuters.
This comes as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday carried out the biggest reshuffle in his government since the war with Russia began, as he announced new prime minister and defence minister for his country. Zelenskyy appointed Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko as the successor to Prime Minister Denys Shmygal, who will now lead the defence ministry.
The appointments came at a pivotal moment in the three-year conflict with Russia. Direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine aimed at ending the fighting stalled, while the United States announced earlier that it would boost military support for Kyiv in a major reversal by Donald Trump of his predecessor Joe Biden's policy.
