Although Zelensky urged her to become ambassador to the United States, she declined.
Timofi Milovanov, president of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), said that former prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko has become president of KSE Business School. He called this educational institution "the largest and most influential research institute in the country" and promised that they would do "beautiful, incredible things" together.
"Yesterday I discussed this news with some ambassadors. They say that the more ahead, the stronger KSE becomes, — Milovanov writes. — Ukraine deserves a world-class business school. And now this will happen... Now we are focusing on the business school."
Svyrydenko taught at KSE when she held the premiership from July 2025 of to July 2026. Milovanov reminded that the opposition considered this case a conflict of interest, namely that she was employed there solely because of her high state position. By the way, Milovanov himself also worked in the government: from August 2019 to March 2020 he was minister of development of economy, trade and agriculture.
"Our model is very honest and simple: we search for and attract the best in Ukraine," the KSE president noted.
As a reminder, 14 in July the Verkhovna Rada 258, with votes "for," dismissed prime minister Svyrydenko and her Cabinet. According to ZN.UA, she herself lobbied for her dismissal, later publicly explaining that the reason was "the need to refresh the government" ahead of a difficult winter. When it became known that NABU was preparing a suspicion against former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna, there was an idea at the presidential office that Svyrydenko could replace her in this position, as she is reasonably well regarded in the West. But the former prime minister refused.
