Event Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a cabinet reshuffle on Sunday, July 13, 2026, leading to the resignation of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and the entire government. The focus is on Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, whose position is uncertain ahead of a parliamentary vote on Thursday. Fedorov, a tech expert, has led reforms in defense procurement and drone warfare, but his efforts have angered parts of the establishment. Critics warn that replacing him could destabilize the ministry as Ukraine intensifies strikes on Russian energy infrastructure and faces manpower and air defense shortages. The reshuffle threatens to dent trust in Zelenskyy's wartime leadership.
