The Svyrydenko government () was the 22nd government of Ukraine, formed on 17 July 2025 and led by Yulia Svyrydenko, who was previously serving as First Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Economy in the Shmyhal Government. The government was dissolved on 12 July 2026 following Svyrydenko's dismissal and the creation of the Koretskyi Government.

History On 14 July 2025, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he proposed Yulia Svyrydenko to head the government of Ukraine, to "significantly renew its [Government's] work". The next day, following the meeting with Svyrydenko and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, Zelenskyy outlined the tasks and priorities for the first six months of the new government. Among them were the increase of domestic weaponry production, procurement of drones for the Armed Forces, deregulation, "unleashing the economic potential of Ukraine" and full implementation of social programs.

Appointment of Svyrydenko The appointment of Svyrydenko as the Prime Minister of Ukraine was approved by the Verkhovna Rada on 17 July 2025. Svyrydenko was an acting First Deputy Prime Minister at the time of his appointment; she had previously served as Minister of Economy. 262 people's deputies, from the ruling Servant of the People faction, splinter groups of the banned Opposition Platform – For Life, as well as parliamentary groups like For the Future and Dovira, all voted for her candidacy. Present European Solidarity members voted against the nomination, while the majority of both Batkivshchyna and Holos deputies abstained.

Composition Compared to the outgoing Shmyhal Government, the new government led by Yulia Svyrydenko includes a couple major differences: the Ministry of National Unity was merged into the Ministry of Social Policy, with the new ministry taking the name of Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity. The ministries of economy, agrarian policy and environmental protection were merged into a single Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, and the Ministry of Strategic Industries was merged into the Ministry of Defence.

Nine ministers from the outgoing government retained their positions in the new Cabinet of Ministers, among them Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Federov, who became the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine and the Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Oleksii Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Finance Serhiy Marchenko, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko, Minister of Education and Science Oksen Lisovyi, Minister of Youth and Sports Matvii Bidnyi and the Minister of Health Viktor Liashko.

Three more remained in government, but in different positions: Herman Halushchenko became the Minister of Justice, while former Svitlana Hrynchuk, who previously led Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, replace Halushchenko, and became the new energy minister. Additionally, former Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal became the new defence minister.

Galushchenko and Hrynchuk were dismissed by parliament on 19 November 2025, amidst the Operation Midas scandal.
