Svyrydenko, who also served as Ukraine’s economy minister, was appointed prime minister in July 2025 at the age of 39. She played a key role in securing a mineral agreement between Ukraine and the United States, seen as crucial for tying U.S. interests to Ukraine's security.
In her resignation statement on social media, Svyrydenko expressed pride in leading the government during 'one of the most difficult periods in Ukraine’s modern history.' She also mentioned discussing 'next steps' with Zelensky but did not provide further details. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued their drone strikes on Russian oil facilities, killing one person and wounding three others in southwestern Russia.
The head of Russia's Samara region, Gov. Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, reported that a child was among the injured and that residential homes and apartment buildings were damaged. Russian media outlets indicated that the target was the Syzran oil refinery, owned by Rosneft and located about 500 miles east of the border.
In response to Ukraine's strikes, Moscow intensified its bombardment of Kyiv and other cities, exposing Ukraine's vulnerability to ballistic missile strikes. Zelensky described the strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure as part of Kyiv’s campaign of 'long-range sanctions' in response to Moscow’s refusal to halt the war.
