According to MP Olga Vasilevska-Smaglyuk, Ihor Klymenko is set to be nominated for the post of Minister of Defence, Ivan Vygivskyi for Minister of the Interior, and Vitalii Kim for Minister for Veterans\u2019 Affairs. The nominations are yet to be considered by the Verkhovna Rada.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are plans to nominate Klymenko for the post of Minister of Defence.<\/li>\n<li>Vygivsky has been named as a candidate for the post of Minister of the Interior.<\/li>\n<li>Kim could become Minister for Veterans\u2019 Affairs.<\/li>\n<li>The list does not include the current Defence Minister, Fedorov.<\/li>\n<li>Parliamentary proceedings concerning the government may take place on 16 July.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Which candidates were put forward following the parliamentary group meeting?<\/h2>\n<p>According to <strong>Olga Vasilevska-Smaglyuk<\/strong>, the proposed government line-up includes candidates for a number of ministerial posts. In<strong>Sevoloda Chentsova<\/strong> are planning to nominate for the post of Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration, <strong>Denis Maslov<\/strong> \u2014 the Minister of Justice, and <strong>Vitaliy Bezgin<\/strong> \u2014 the Minister for Communities and Territories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mykola Kalashnyk<\/strong> The MP named him as a candidate for the post of Minister for Infrastructure and Reconstruction. <strong>Oleksandra Kravchenko<\/strong> are being put forward for the post of Minister for the Economy and the Environment, <strong>Andriy Butenko<\/strong> \u2014 the Minister of Education, <strong>Taras Vysotsky<\/strong> \u2014 the Minister for Agricultural Policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andriy Sibiga <\/strong>is set to retain his post as Foreign Secretary. Earlier, the media had also reported that the Finance Ministers may remain in their posts <strong>Sergey Marchenko<\/strong>, energy <strong>Denys Shmyhal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Possible changes to the security sector<\/h2>\n<p>The most significant potential reshuffle concerns both the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of the Interior. <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/suspilstvo\/klymenko-proponuye-vidpravyty-politseyskykh-na-front\/\">Igor Klimenko<\/a> currently heads the Ministry of the Interior, whilst <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/main-news\/vyhivskyi-zvilnennia-natspolitsiia-obshuky\/\">Ivan Vygovsky<\/a> is the head of the National Police.<\/p>\n<p>The current Minister of Defence is <strong>Mikhail Fedorov<\/strong>, whom the Verkhovna Rada appointed to this post on 14 January 2026. His name does not appear on the list submitted to the parliamentary group. According to media sources, Fedorov may remain in the presidential team, although no specific details of his future role have been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>RBC-Ukraine, citing sources within the parliamentary group, reported that among the explanations discussed for Fedorov\u2019s absence were disagreements regarding the provision of supplies to the Defence Forces and procurement. Neither the President, nor Fedorov, nor the General Staff have publicly commented on this information.<\/p>\n<h2>New ministries and changes to the structure of the government<\/h2>\n<p>In media reports <strong>Kravchenko<\/strong> is being touted as a candidate for the post of Minister of Economy and Ecology, and <strong>Vysotsky<\/strong> \u2014 a separate Ministry of Agricultural Policy. This is in line with reports of a possible split in the merged ministry, which covered <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/category\/economics\/\">economy<\/a>, the environment and agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>A similar change could affect the current Ministry of Community and Territorial Development. Bezgin is being offered the communities and territories portfolio, whilst Kalashnik is being offered infrastructure and reconstruction. Throughout the day, various options regarding the infrastructure portfolio have been circulating in the media, suggesting that the list is being finalised at the very last minute.<\/p>\n<h2>The decision on the appointment will be taken by parliament<\/h2>\n<p>On 14 July, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a resolution on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/main-news\/holovni-rishennia-kabminu-dlia-ukrainy\/\">the Prime Minister\u2019s resignation<\/a> <strong>Yulia Sviridenko<\/strong>, which would mean the resignation of the entire Cabinet. According to *Ukrainska Pravda*, the vote on the new government was scheduled for 16 July.<\/p>\n<p>The list read out by the MP does not constitute the nomination of candidates to parliament. The Constitution stipulates that the Verkhovna Rada appoints the Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs on the recommendation of the President, and other members of the government on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. Therefore, the officials named on the list cannot be considered appointed until a vote has taken place.<\/p>\n<p>If parliament endorses this structure, the changes will cover security, veterans\u2019 affairs, economic management, infrastructure, education and the justice system. However, the line-up announced on 15 July may be subject to change before formal procedures begin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u00abServant of the People\u00bb party has announced its candidates for Ukraine\u2019s new Cabinet.
