Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko has stepped down as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy begins a reshuffle of Ukraine's government.
The Ukrainian president said that he was "grateful" to the outgoing PM - appointed last July - but that Kyiv will be "changing its political strategy" ahead of the winter.
He also said he had offered a new and important position to the former premier.
Mr Zelenskyy did not specify who he would ask to lead the government or what Ms Svyrydenko's new position would be, but said he expects MPs to "make the corresponding changes".
He added that there would also be changes among the heads of law enforcement agencies.
On Sunday, the president said on X that Ukraine "is changing its political strategy" in foreign policy with figures with "substantial experience... capable of implementing what we agree on at the leaders' level and what the Ukrainian people expect".
He added "same applies to our domestic work," and said: "Preparing for winter is an extremely important priority, and Ukraine must be ready for every threat that may arise."
