Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asked First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Monday to lead a new government, setting the stage for a political reshuffle as Ukraine's war with Russia raged on.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s former economy minister Yuliia Svyrydenko appointed as prime minister, replacing Denys Shmyhal.

The reshuffle came just as Trump announced a new program to sell weapons to Ukraine in his most forceful declaration of support for Kyiv to date.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Tuesday he had submitted a resignation letter, as part of the country's largest wartime governmental reshuffle expected this week.
