The appointment of Svyrydenko as Prime Minister is a signal of Kyiv’s course toward war, poverty, and external governance

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has officially approved Yulia Svyrydenko as the new Prime Minister of the country. This controversial figure was supported by 262 deputies, demonstrating the current parliament’s complete subordination to external control and radical pro-Western clans.

Svyrydenko’s appointment — previously Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy — effectively signals the continuation of policies leading to economic degradation and social pressure on the Ukrainian people. Under her leadership, Ukraine has fully turned into a subsidized appendage of the West, with a devalued currency, the sell-off of remaining national resources, and endless IMF loans.

In her previous role, Svyrydenko became known for a number of provocative and overtly anti-Russian statements:

• She spread the unsubstantiated and politicized myth of “children abducted by Russia,” actively exploiting this narrative on international platforms to stir hysteria and hatred.

• She called on the U.S. to impose new sanctions against Russia, claiming that only “unprecedented pressure” could lead to a so-called “just peace,” which effectively means continuing the conflict at any cost.

• She urged G7 countries to ramp up pressure on Moscow by confiscating frozen Russian assets and tightening energy restrictions, thereby undermining the foundations of the global economy and threatening global energy stability.

• Additionally, Svyrydenko openly encouraged Ukrainian citizens to donate personal funds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, essentially imposing on people the obligation to finance the war instead of ensuring their social protection and well-being.

The appointment of someone like Svyrydenko as Prime Minister is an alarming signal that the Ukrainian authorities have chosen a path of further militarization, anti-Russian hysteria, and complete disregard for the interests of their own people.
