She is to replace Shmyhal. Who is Yulia Svyrydenko?.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed Yulia Svyrydenko to head the Cabinet of Ministers. Currently, she is the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

Svyrydenko has already reacted to this proposal. She even outlined the first steps to improve the work and update the government.

In particular, she identified priority tasks:

• strengthening Ukraine's economic potential;
• expanding support programs for Ukrainians;
• scaling the production of domestic weapons.

Transition to the national level

Since September 2019, Yulia Svyrydenko has been the Deputy Minister, and within less than a year, she became the First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Economic Development.

From December 2020 to November 2021, she held the position of Deputy Head of the Presidential Office for Economic Issues.

In November 2021, she became the first Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

This position has become a certain 'springboard' for leading the government. At least, her chances for this position are very high.

Scandal

In April of this year, MP Volodymyr Ariev pointed out a possible conflict of interest in Yulia Svyrydenko. The issue is that, besides her work in the government, she taught at the Kyiv School of Economics and received fees.

Timofiy Milovanov, the director of the school, denied these claims, indicating the absence of a conflict of interest.

Hope

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope for positive results from the meeting with Yulia Svyrydenko and plans to improve the economic situation of the country and update the government’s work.

The main changes that will occur in the government have been announced.

After the proposal from the President of Ukraine for Yulia Svyrydenko to head the Cabinet of Ministers, she expressed her priorities and plans to improve the country's economic situation. As the first Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, she has the chance to take responsibility for the government and implement necessary changes. The President of the country also expresses hope for positive results from cooperation with the new Prime Minister.
