Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday said he had proposed that First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko “lead” the country's government.
After meeting with Svyrydenko in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said in a statement on X that he and the first deputy prime minister discussed “concrete measures” to boost the country's economic potential and scale up domestic weapons production, among other matters.
“In pursuit of this goal, we are initiating a transformation of the executive branch in Ukraine. I have proposed that Yuliia Svyrydenko lead the Government of Ukraine and significantly renew its work,” Zelenskyy further said.
