Ukraine’s Drone Pioneer Faces Ouster in Zelenskyy’s Cabinet Shake-Up

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to remove defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov—an architect of the wartime drone program and defence-tech push—in a broad cabinet reshuffle designed to refresh his government as the war enters a new phase. Fedorov’s startup-style leadership and anti-corruption stance earned support but also clash with traditional military leaders and procurement interests; his fate (stay, move, or exit) remains undecided as Zelenskyy readies his new government and a reshaped strategy for the conflict.

Zelenskyy overhauls Ukraine’s cabinet in fresh wartime shake-up

President Zelenskyy announced a broad cabinet overhaul, dismissing prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko and naming Naftogaz chief Sergii Koretskyi as a leading replacement as part of a renewed political strategy; other candidates include Denys Shmyhal and Mykhailo Fedorov, with Svyrydenko potentially moving to a Kyiv–Washington ambassador post, as Kyiv seeks stronger governance and faster progress in defence and diplomacy during the war.

Tymoshenko Named in Probe Over Alleged Ukrainian Vote-Buying Scheme

Former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has been served a suspicion notice by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine over allegations she headed a systematic vote-buying scheme in parliament. A raid on her Kyiv office and a video that appears to show a Tymoshenko look‑alike offering cash to MPs, plus chat transcripts, underscore a widening probe that also involves lawmakers from President Zelenskyy’s party. Tymoshenko denies the charges as political and says the office search was a PR stunt; the case adds to ongoing tensions in Ukraine’s wartime politics and anti-corruption investigations.
