List of prime ministers of Ukraine
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The Prime Minister of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Прем'єр-міністр України, Prem'ier-ministr Ukrayiny) is Ukraine's head of government presiding over the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which is the highest body of the executive branch of the Ukrainian government.
Since Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, there have been 16 prime ministers (19 counting acting PMs). Unlike the President of Ukraine, who is directly elected by popular vote every five years, the Prime Minister is appointed by the President upon the ratification of the candidate by the parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.
Denys Shmyhal is the current Prime Minister of Ukraine since 4 March 2020.
