Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday he had nominated first deputy prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko to lead his cabinet and “significantly renew its work”, in the most notable shake-up of his government since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Svyrydenko has a background as an economist and has held several positions in the Ukrainian government, including Minister of Economic Development and Trade and Deputy Head of the Office of the President.
