Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Monday and offered her the position of prime minister and asked her to significantly revamp the government.
“I had a meeting with First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. There was a report on the implementation of agreements with European and American partners on support for Ukraine, which were reached at the recent conference on Ukraine’s recovery. We must implement as quickly as possible everything that can support the stability of our state and society,” Zelensky wrote on Telegram on Monday.
According to him, during the meeting with Svyrydenko, they discussed “specific measures that could strengthen Ukraine’s economic potential, expand support programs for Ukrainians, and scale up our own weapons production.”
The president noted that to this end, we are beginning to transform the executive branch in Ukraine. “I have offered Yulia Svyrydenko to head the Ukrainian government and significantly revamp its work. I look forward to the new government’s action plan in the near future,” he wrote.
