President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has named Yulia Svyrydenko as his choice for Prime Minister — a bold move that could define Ukraine’s post-war recovery or risk political backlash.
Svyrydenko, the current Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, is known for brokering a high-stakes minerals deal with the U.S. and leading efforts to modernize Ukraine’s economy.
Now, she’s being Thrust into the top job with a mandate to overhaul the entire government.
Can she deliver in one of Europe’s most volatile political climates?
Is this the rise of a new power broker — or a gamble in the middle of war?
Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Yulia Svyrydenko as Ukraine’s new Prime Minister despite fierce backlash from opposition voices, who say Zelensky no longer has any constitutional authority to govern. Critics argue that under Ukraine’s Constitution, presidential powers cannot be extended beyond a 5-year term—even during martial law. Svyrydenko, a former Economy Minister with close ties to Washington and a track record of negotiating key mineral deals with the U.S., is now leading a narrow cabinet made up entirely of Zelensky loyalists.
Her appointment has reignited debate over Ukraine's democratic legitimacy, with accusations that Zelensky is ruling without a legal mandate. Allegations of links between the new PM and billionaire George Soros have further polarized public opinion. The move is being viewed by critics as a consolidation of power under questionable legal footing—raising serious concerns over transparency, democratic norms, and foreign influence in Ukraine’s leadership.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Friday, i.e., August 29, emphasised that India has maintained a principled and humanitarian stance on the Russia-Ukraine.. DNA
The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a fiery statement after one of the largest Russian strikes on Kyiv, which killed at least 19 people, including four children. Nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles, among them ballistic, rained down on the capital, leaving devastation in their wake. Zelensky said the assault proves Russia has no intention of peace, accusing Vladimir Putin of striking not only Ukraine but also Europe, the U.S., and even President Trump. He warned that Putin is killing children rather than pursuing negotiations, breaking promises to leaders while escalating attacks. Calling for urgent global action, Zelensky urged for sanctions and tariffs against those financing Moscow’s war. “There are no deadlines Putin will not break,” he said, pressing the world to deliver a strong response to Russian aggression.

Vladimir Putin has unleashed a shocking strike on Kyiv, with reports claiming Russia directly hit an EU office in the heart of the city. The move, framed by Moscow as a warning to the West, comes as Putin openly mocks Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Europe’s leadership in one chilling message of defiance. Explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital as Russia’s latest attack targeted diplomatic and civilian zones, drawing swift condemnation from EU leaders.
