Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy relieved Prime Minister Svyrydenko and pushed for a law enforcement shake-up against a backdrop of tension. Svyrydenko confirmed his the departure following a brief tenure. Ukraine cited recent battlefield gains as a motivation to move forward on security and leadership reforms.
Zelenskyy also convened with ten countries in Paris to introduce an anti‑ballistic missile shield for Europe. The group pledged to tighten regional defenses as Ukraine says war turns in its favor.
