Shmyhal will take over at the Defense Ministry, focusing on increasing weapons production amid ongoing conflict with Russia. Svyrydenko aims to prioritize defense and security while ensuring the efficient use of state resources as Ukraine seeks greater cooperation with Washington, following diplomatic challenges since 2019.
Svyrydenko stated, "The state apparatus has no right to waste the resources and potential of our country," emphasizing her commitment to efficient governance.
Parliament backed Svyrydenko's appointment with 262 votes in favor, reflecting a strong political will to enhance Ukraine's relations with the United States.
