乌克兰于周四迎来首位战时新总理。总统泽连斯基正努力控制战时国防开支,并以焕然一新的领导力赢得唐纳德·特朗普和厌战民众的支持。 39岁的尤利娅·斯维里登科是该职位的唯一候选人,预计将接管改组后的内阁,负责扩大新兴的军火工业,并为依靠西方贷款机构维持的经济注入活力。 泽连斯基选择一位在华盛顿享有盛誉的年轻经济学家,反映出在泽连斯基2月份白宫访问失败后,修复与特朗普政府关系的重要性。 斯维里登科即将离任的前任丹尼斯·什米哈尔可能会转任国防部长,这表明基辅现在非常重视增强国防工业能力,认为这是抵御俄罗斯的最佳机会。 但由于泽连斯基仍然依赖少数亲密盟友进行其在这场战争中最大的人事调整,这些举措可能会让那些希望看到高层人才储备更丰富的乌克兰人感到失望。 斯维里登科的公众形象比什米哈尔更为突出,她已经在巩固与美国的关系方面发挥了作用,并且是基辅在达成一项协议方面的主要谈判代表之一,该协议赋予华盛顿优先获取乌克兰大量矿产资源的权利。 49岁的什米哈尔是乌克兰任职时间最长的总理。将他调至国防部,名义上是降职,但这也意味着泽连斯基将获得一位经验丰富的技术官僚经济学家,负责监管乌克兰大部分的国家现金流。 2025年预算拨款2.23万亿格里夫纳(约合532亿美元),约占乌克兰国内生产总值的26%,用于国防开支。在乌克兰努力抵御规模更大、装备更精良的俄罗斯军队之际,该部因组织不力和采购问题而面临公众批评。 “实际上,自战争开始以来,这个部门就一直缺乏系统性管理,”基辅经济战略中心主任赫利布·维什林斯基表示。他将什米哈尔的任命描述为“一个非常好的举措”。
 Ukraine will get its first new prime minister of the war on Thursday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy tries to wrestle wartime defence spending into shape and win over both Donald Trump and a war-weary public with fresh-faced leadership.
Yulia Svyrydenko, 39, the only candidate for the post, is expected to take over a reshuffled cabinet, tasked with scaling up a fledgling arms industry and breathing life into an economy kept afloat by Western lenders.
Zelenskiy’s choice of a young economist well known in Washington reflects the importance of repairing relations with the Trump administration after Zelenskiy’s disastrous White House visit in February.
Svyrydenko’s outgoing predecessor, Denys Shmyhal, is meanwhile likely to shift to the job of defence minister, a sign of the importance Kyiv now places in building up the capacity of its defence industry as the best chance of fending off Russia.
But with Zelenskiy still relying on a small handful of close allies to make his biggest reshuffle of the war, the moves could disappoint Ukrainians who want to see a wider talent pool at the top.
Svyrydenko, with a more prominent public profile than Shmyhal, has already played a role in shoring up ties with the United States and was one of Kyiv’s main negotiators in reaching a deal that gives Washington preferential access to swathes of Ukraine’s mineral wealth.
Shmyhal, 49, was Ukraine’s longest-serving prime minister. Moving him to the defence ministry, a demotion on paper, gives Zelenskiy an experienced technocratic economist in a job that oversees the bulk of Ukraine’s state cash flow.
The 2025 budget allocates 2.23 trillion hryvnias $53.2 billion – about 26% of Ukraine’s gross domestic product – for defence spending. The ministry has faced public criticism over poor organisation and procurement problems as Ukraine struggles to fend off a bigger and better-armed Russian military.
“This is a ministry that practically since the beginning of the war has suffered from a lack of systemic management,” said Hlib Vyshlinsky, head of the Centre for Economic Strategy in Kyiv. He described Shmyhal’s appointment as “an extremely good step”.
