digital development, digital transformation and digitalization.

Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada supported the resignations of Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, and SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed appointing Denys Shmyhal as First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, while Mykhailo Fedorov was offered the post of Minister of Defense.
