Ukraine’s parliament appoints Serhii Koretskyi as prime minister following a cabinet reshuffle ordered by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Multiple outlets report that the change follows the resignation of former prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko, which triggers a broader review of senior government roles. Koretskyi is presented as Zelenskyy’s nominee after being linked to the energy sector, including experience associated with Naftogaz. The vote approving Koretskyi takes place as Ukraine also sees leadership changes elsewhere in the cabinet. Euronews adds that the dismissal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov draws significant public protest and criticism, making that part of the reshuffle more contentious than the prime minister appointment itself. Other changes to senior officials accompany Koretskyi’s appointment, with the reshuffle described as aimed at refreshing government leadership ahead of winter preparations and other near-term priorities. The reports characterize the process as a coordinated set of personnel moves rather than an isolated change to the head of government.
