Ukraine's Zelenskiy Proposes Replacement of Prime Minister Svyrydenko

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has proposed replacing Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko after roughly a year in office, saying changes are needed to implement an updated political strategy. The resignation would trigger the departure of the entire cabinet and requires parliamentary approval; candidates floated as successors include Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal, Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, and Naftogaz chief Serhiy Koretskyi. The move comes amid a major corruption scandal involving state nuclear company Energoatom. For investors, government changes in Ukraine can influence regional stability and investor confidence.
