History
[edit]On 14 July 2025, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announed that he proposed Yulia Svyrydenko to head the government of Ukraine, to "significantly renew its [Government's] work".[2] The next day, following the meeting with Svyrydenko and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, Zelenskyy outlined the tasks and priorities for the first six months of the new government. Among them were the increase of domestic weaponry production, procurement of drones for the Armed Forces, deregulation, "unleashing the economic potential of Ukraine" and full implementation of social programs.[3]
Appointment of Svyrydenko
[edit]The appointment of Svyrydenko as the Prime Minister of Ukraine was approved by the Verkhovna Rada on 17 July 2025. Svyrydenko was an acting First Deputy Prime Minister at the time of his appointment; she had previously served as Minister of Economy.[4] 262 people's deputies, from the ruling Servant of the People faction, splinter groups of the banned Opposition Platform — For Life, as well as parliamentary groups like For the Future and Dovira, have all voted for her candidacy. Present European Solidarity members voted against, while the majority of both Batkivshchyna and Holos deputies abstained.[1]
