Ukraine's PM Svyrydenko steps down in Zelenskiy's latest reshuffle

Ukraine's parliament accepted the resignation on Tuesday of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who stepped down after just a year in office at ​the request of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in a reshuffle for which he ‌has offered little explanation. The motion to accept the 40-year-old economist's resignation passed in parliament, although some lawmakers expressed unease about such an abrupt change."Every day this year demanded difficult decisions and decisive action. ​I am deeply grateful for the trust and support I received. You also ​know that I have always believed results matter most," Svyrydenko said in ⁠her farewell speech. Svyrydenko was put in charge of the cabinet a year ago, several ​months after a major corruption case involving senior officials came to public attention. Since then, ​her critics have accused her of failing to take sufficiently decisive action to clean house.Zelenskiy has said Ukraine is changing its political strategy and new people are needed, but has otherwise given little ​explanation for again changing his cabinet.
