Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he has offered the job to 39-year-old Yuliia Svyrydenko, who is currently deputy prime minister and the country’s first female economy minister.

The Ukrainian parliament is scheduled to vote on Wednesday on the dismissal of Denys Shmyhal's government, amid a reshuffle launched by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week. View on euronew

The reshuffle came just as Trump announced a new program to sell weapons to Ukraine in his most forceful declaration of support for Kyiv to date.

President Biden in November 2024, to the chagrin of some Trump allies, had allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS, leading the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. to accuse him of trying to “get World War Three going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives.”

As Trump demands a deal to end the Ukraine war in 50 days, Russia's deputy foreign minister says "demands, especially ultimatums, are unacceptable."

Trump’s U-Turn seems partly the result of European leaders, Rutte especially, who worked hard to develop common ground with the U.S. President. It also seems to be the result of growing irritation with Putin. Trump said Monday that Putin talks “so beautifully” when it comes to a ceasefire but “then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.”

WASHINGTON - Former U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at making a significant statement about Russia on Monday, just before his scheduled meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Washington.
