Yulia Svyrydenko has been appointed as Ukraine's prime minister after the resignation of Denys Shmyhal, marking a significant government reshuffle. This change comes after three years of rumors regarding a potential shift in government leadership. Shmyhal served for over five years, the longest tenure for a Ukrainian prime minister. Svyrydenko, a former economy minister, gained respect during negotiations with the US. However, the legitimacy of this reshuffle is questioned due to the ongoing martial law, which prohibits elections and has raised legal concerns among opposition representatives.
