Rada Fires PM Yulia Svyrydenko, Sending Entire Cabinet Packing

Original version ·

Well, that was fast. The Ukrainian parliament just accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, which automatically clears out the entire cabinet in one clean sweep.

It's official: the Verkhovna Rada just voted to accept the resignation of Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. And because of how the law works here, her departure automatically triggers the resignation of the entire Ukrainian government.

One minute people are running ministries, and the next they are packing up desktop nameplates and looking for cardboard boxes. There are no long goodbyes or transition periods, just a collective, immediate exit. Now everyone is left wondering who gets the hot seats next.

Nothing screams stable political strategy quite like starting the week by turning the entire cabinet into a blank canvas.

    honestly not even surprised at this point, just hope the next batch knows what they are doing
    +1 boringA masterclass in stating the obvious; hope is a nice sentiment, but it rarely balances a national budget
