Ukraine's prime minister resigns, as Zelenskyy says country "is changing its political strategy"

Key Points:

• Yulia Svyrydenko resigned as Ukraine's prime minister as President Zelenskyy announced a government reshuffle aimed at changing the country's political strategy, with Svyrydenko set to lead a new key area in Ukraine's foreign relations.
• Svyrydenko, who became prime minister in July 2025 after serving as economy minister, expressed pride in leading during a difficult period and affirmed her readiness to continue serving Ukraine in strengthening its position and pursuing peace.
• Zelenskyy's government reshuffle, the fourth since Russia's full-scale invasion, will also include changes in top law enforcement ranks and aims to assign foreign policy priorities to experienced officials.
• Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued attacks on Russian oil facilities, including a strike on the Syzran Oil Refinery in Russia's Samara region that caused casualties and damage, and a drone attack on a tanker in the Rostov region, exacerbating fuel shortages in Russia.
• Russia responded with attacks on Ukrainian ports in Odesa and Chornomorsk, while Kyiv's strikes on Russian energy infrastructure are described by Zelenskyy as "long-range sanctions" against Moscow's ongoing invasion.
