Biography
Denys Anatoliiovych Shmyhal (born 15 October 1975) is a Ukrainian politician and entrepreneur who served as the 18th prime minister of Ukraine from 2020 to 2025. He has served as the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and the Minister of Energy of Ukraine since 14 January 2026, previously serving as the minister of defence from 2025 to 2026, as governor of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast from 2019 to 2020 and as an acting deputy prime minister in the Honcharuk government.
As prime minister, Shmyhal was in charge of handling the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine and conducting the defense of Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion. On 15 July 2025, Shmyhal submitted his resignation, a day after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a government reshuffle and proposed replacing Shmyhal with Yulia Svyrydenko as prime minister. His tenure as prime minister of over five years was the longest in Ukrainian history. After Svyrydenko took office, he was appointed as the defence minister.
