==Background and professional career==

Yekhanurov was born in the village Belkachi in the far-north Yakut ASSR, which is currently the Sakha Republic within the Russian Federation. His father, Ivan Mikhailovich Yekhanurov is an ethnic Buryat, while his mother, Galina Ivanovna Yekhanurova (Helena Yanivna Trybel) is an ethnic Pole. Between 1955 and 1963 Yuriy Yekhanurov attended a school in the village of Buy, Bichursky District, Buryatia.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ехануров, Юрий|url=http://lenta.ru/lib/14161221/full/|publisher=Lenta.ru|access-date=April 30, 2015|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304104945/http://lenta.ru/lib/14161221/full/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1963 he moved to Kyiv, Ukraine, where he has spent most of his life and career. He holds a PhD-equivalent degree in Economics, is married, and has one son.

Yekhanurov graduated from a construction Technical School in 1967, and the Kyiv National Economic University in 1973. As his first job in 1974, he was assigned as a manager of a reinforced concrete plant at the state company "Kyivmiskbud-4". Yekhanurov quickly rose through the ranks, moving on to the "Stroydetal'" industrial group from 1985 to 1988. In that year, he was appointed deputy chairman of the Kyiv construction directorate, the "GolovKyivMiskBud".

In 2025, Yekhanurov co-authored ''Understanding Technology in the Context of National Development: Critical Reflections''.<ref name="GuardianSun">{{cite web |title=Tech Without the Hype: A Pragmatic Blueprint for Botswana's Digital Future |url=https://guardiansun.co.bw/news/tech-without-the-hype-a-pragmatic-blueprint-for-botswanas-digital-future/news |website=Guardian Sun |access-date=6 November 2025}}</ref>

==Statesman and politician== thumb|Yekhanurov in 1998 thumb|250px| Yuriy Yekhanurov inspecting troops of the 95th Airmobile Brigade on Khreshchatyk in Kyiv on the Independence day 2008. When Ukraine gained independence in 1991, Yekhanurov started working for the Kyiv municipal government, overseeing economic reforms. He was appointed Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine in 1993, and later headed the State Property Fund of Ukraine (which coordinated the privatisation) from 1994 to 1997. Yekhanurov also served for a short time as Minister of Economy in the cabinet of Pavlo Lazarenko in 1997. He was elected member of the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, in 1998.

When Viktor Yushchenko was appointed Prime Minister of Ukraine in 1999, Yekhanurov joined his cabinet as First Vice Prime Minister. After the ousting of the government in 2001, Yekhanurov joined Yushchenko's People's Union Our Ukraine and was elected again a member of parliament. In June 2002, he was appointed Head of the State Committee for Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship.

After the Orange Revolution in 2005, Yekhanurov was appointed Head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast State Administration (i.e. a governor) on April 1, 2005.<ref name="ef">[https://web.archive.org/web/20170917050745/http://econom.univ.kiev.ua/departments/enterprise_economics/staff/ehanurov/ Єхануров Юрій Іванович]&nbsp;— Економічний факультет Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка</ref> He was also elected head of the Central Executive Committee of People's Union Our Ukraine party. <!--(The Constitution of Ukraine prohibits members of Parliament from holding office; although deputies have been known to "forget" to submit their resignations on being appointed ministers.)Looks like POV: please point to him and reference, or delete--->

==Prime minister==

On September 8, 2005, Yekhanurov was appointed acting prime minister by President Viktor Yushchenko, after the President had sacked the previous Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. He was succeeded by Victor Yanukovich on August 4, 2006. Yekhanurov's candidacy was hotly contested in parliament, most notably by former prime minister and Yushchenko's ally Yulia Tymoshenko.<ref>{{Cite web|title=radio study group memorandum report of radio study group on the future of radio free europe rfe and radio liberty rl september 8 1967 secret cia foia|url=https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004287648.useo_b10151|website=U.S. Intelligence on Europe, 1945-1995|access-date=2025-11-30}}</ref> His confirmation required two rounds of voting; in the first round on September 20, 2005, Yekhanurov was only three votes short of the 226 needed for approval. On September 22, 2005, after negotiations between President Yushchenko and opposition groups, he was approved by 289 deputies out of 339 present. The CPU and SDPU(o) factions abstained from voting.<ref>{{Cite thesis|title=A NEW TEST OF THE NEWS: AN EXAMINATION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND CNN COVERAGE OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE|url=https://doi.org/10.31390/gradschool_theses.5745|publisher=Louisiana State University Libraries|first=Hannah|last=Ross}}</ref>

Yekhanurov was widely regarded as an experienced administrator, a caretaker rather than a politician. Like Yushchenko, he is a supporter of economic liberalization and privatisation, but opposed "reprivatization" of previously sold companies that were thought to have been privatized illegally under the administration of President Leonid Kuchma.

Yekhanurov government lost a vote of no confidence on January 10, 2006<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=31268| title = YUSHCHENKO'S GOVERNMENT LOSES VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE - Jamestown| access-date = June 17, 2009| archive-date = December 25, 2010| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101225194216/http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=31268| url-status = live}}</ref> but stayed in power until the parliamentary election two months later.

After the signing of a coalition agreement (June 22, 2006) by the political parties behind the "Orange Revolution" it was agreed that Yulia Tymoshenko would be restored as Prime Minister of Ukraine after nearly three months of negotiating and political uncertainty.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5101380.stm | work=BBC News | title=Ukraine allies 'agree coalition' | date=June 21, 2006 | access-date=July 6, 2006 | archive-date=January 23, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123161309/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5101380.stm | url-status=live }}</ref> Yulia Tymoshenko election was expected to be only a formality but opposition members (Party of Regions & Communist Party of Ukraine) blocked the parliament from Thursday, June 29, 2006<ref>{{cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5127414.stm | work=BBC News | title=Sit-in disrupts Ukraine assembly | date=June 29, 2006 | access-date=July 6, 2006 | archive-date=July 10, 2006 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060710010959/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5127414.stm | url-status=live }}</ref> till Thursday, July 6, 2006<ref name="pravda">[http://www2.pravda.com.ua/en/news/2006/7/6/5674.htm YANUKOVYCH CALLED OFF THE BLOCKADE / Ukrayinska Pravda<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070313093240/http://www2.pravda.com.ua/en/news/2006/7/6/5674.htm |date=March 13, 2007 }}</ref> because they felt they hadn't got enough chairmen in parliamentary committees<ref name="pravda"/> Yekhanurov was skeptical about the new government and he wanted the Party of Regions to be a part of the new government<ref>[http://www2.pravda.com.ua/en/news/2006/6/22/5544.htm Yekhanurov Demitted Speakership Because of Yanukovych / Ukrayinska Pravda<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930220141/http://www2.pravda.com.ua/en/news/2006/6/22/5544.htm |date=September 30, 2007 }}</ref> He felt that would have been better for the stability of Ukraine.

==Gas crisis of 2005–2006 and fallout==

Late 2005/January 2006, Russia and Ukraine had a serious dispute over the import of gas. Russia had been charging Ukraine traditionally low prices for gas, but decided to increase them to reflect the market price, breaking the previously signed contract that was to last through 2010. After cutting off the flow of gas to Ukraine for several days, a complicated deal was struck on January 4, 2006. According to President Yushchenko and Yekhanurov, it was a compromise.

Nonetheless, the Ukrainian parliament was not happy with the deal, and passed a vote of no-confidence on January 10, 2006. But President Yuschenko "quickly dismissed the vote as a publicity stunt by the opposition"<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/11/international/europe/11ukraine.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1136981940-yDIPIirPl%2FC6oC5j8p3Y4Q | work=The New York Times | title=Parliament in Ukraine Votes to Scold Government | first=Andrew E. | last=Kramer | date=January 11, 2006 | access-date=February 28, 2017 | archive-date=January 23, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123161311/https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/11/world/europe/parliament-in-ukraine-votes-to-scold-government.html | url-status=live }}</ref> Yekhanurov continued to perform his duties until the newly elected Verkhovna Rada convened and formed a majority in July. He was succeeded by Viktor Yanukovych.

==Minister of Defense of Ukraine== As part of the President quota of Ministers in the Ukrainian cabinet appointed on December 18, 2007, Yekhanurov became Minister of Defense in the second Tymoshenko cabinet.
