Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko stepped down on Tuesday following a sweeping government overhaul directed by President Volodymyr Zelensky. The reshuffle also affects several heads of law enforcement agencies across the country.

Zelensky has not yet announced who will replace Svyrydenko in the top role. He said the changes reflect Kyiv's shift in political direction as the nation tackles what he described as emerging challenges and fresh priorities.

Parliament voted to accept Svyrydenko's resignation on Tuesday, formally ending her tenure as premier. The moves come as Ukraine continues to grapple with the ongoing Russian invasion and evolving security needs.
