Behind the scenes

Who actually decides this?

Full breakdown →
  1. Step 1

    European Commission

    Proposes

    The Commission is the only one that can write a new EU law from scratch. Think of them as the ones drafting the group chat message.

  2. Step 2

    European Parliament

    Amends & debates

    MEPs you actually voted for read the draft, argue about it, and suggest changes. This is where things get loud.

  3. Step 3

    Council of the EU

    Also amends

    Ministers from each EU country weigh in for their government. They want changes too, usually different ones than Parliament.

  4. Step 4

    Parliament + Council

    Sign off together

    They lock themselves in a room (the ‘trilogue’) with the Commission until they agree on one final text. Both have to say yes, or nothing happens.

Ukraine's Prime Minister, Denys Shmyhal, has reportedly submitted his resignation.

This move is part of a broader government reshuffle. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the changes.

According to Zelenskyy, the shakeup is due to Ukraine "changing its political strategy." This suggests a pivot in national direction.

The departure of the Prime Minister marks a notable shift in the country's leadership.

Details on potential successors or further cabinet changes are currently emerging.

Such significant governmental changes can influence Ukraine's approach to domestic challenges.

They may also impact its foreign policy, especially concerning its international partnerships.

The reshuffle occurs during a critical time for Ukraine as it navigates ongoing geopolitical complexities.
