Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy asked First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko on Monday to lead a new government, setting the stage for a political reshuffle as Ukraine's war with Russia raged on.

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.

The Cabinet of Ministers held its first meeting in the new composition. Each minister was tasked with developing a concrete action plan, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. "We held the first meeting of the new government immediately after the parliamentary vote.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Tuesday he had submitted a resignation letter, as part of the country's largest wartime governmental reshuffle expected this week.
