Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has proposed a fresh head of government as part of a government shake-up.
Zelensky told MPs the change will aid the country deal with pressing issues.
During a meeting with outgoing Premier Denys Shmyhal, Zelensky reviewed ways to protect national energy grids.
He also called in the boss of state-run gas giant the gas firm to settle sector problems.
Top aides admit urgent action is vital after a snap hold-up on Patriot missiles and after the ex-president’s remarks on a similar deal sparked talk.
Officials insist urgent steps are required to keep defence networks and energy hubs running.
