    Ukraine’s Cabinet Reshuffle: Zelensky Proposes Naftogaz Chief as New Prime Minister

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested the appointment of the head of the energy company Naftogaz as the new Prime Minister, following the dismissal of the previous cabinet.

    Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk announced that a vote on the proposed appointment could occur as early as today. This cabinet reshuffle, which includes the dismissal of Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal after one year in office, was prompted by unconfirmed reports regarding the resignation of Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Stefanischyna, amid corruption investigations linked to her previous role as Minister for EU and NATO Integration. Additionally, former Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov has stated he will not seek reappointment.
