The reshuffle of Ukraine’s government has been widely seen as a bid to boost relations with Trump. Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who was key in striking a mineral deal with the U.S. in May, was appointed as the new Prime Minister on Thursday.

Yulia Svyrydenko, 39, is Ukraine's new prime minister, tasked by President Zelensky with boosting domestic weapons production to 50% within six months and reviving the economy.

The Ukraine conflict has starkly illuminated the role of drones in modern warfare: both sides exchange hundreds of aerial strikes daily. Some of the most notable drone operations, such as Ukraine’s destruction of dozens of Russian strategic bombers in “Operation Spider’s Web,” might rewrite the future of warfare.

Ukraine's corruption problem was getting better. Now activists worry a campaign of arrests risks a backslide to authoritarianism.

An announcement by the Ukrainian president that he will seek to replace the prime minister with a loyalist came as the country faces battlefield setbacks and a souring mood.
