Yuriy Anatoliyovych Boyko (Ukrainian: Юрій Анатолійович Бойко, Russian: Юрий Анатольевич Бойко; born 9 October 1958) is a Ukrainian politician who served as Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine between 2012 and 2014, as well as the Minister of Energy from 2006 to 2007 and again from 2010 to 2012. Boyko has continuously served as a Member of the Verkhovna Rada since 2007. Boyko ran for President in the March 2019 election, winning some districts in the southeast of the country but missing qualification for the second round by 4.28% of the votes. Designated a Hero of Ukraine from 2004 to 2025, Boyko was considered to be one of the primary proponents of closer relations with Russia in Ukrainian politics. Boyko was a leading figure of the now-banned Opposition Platform — For Life, which he led to second place in the July 2019 parliamentary election, and currently heads its successor, the Platform for Life and Peace. Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, which he opposed, he reversed some of his pro-Russian stances, now supporting Ukraine's proposed accession to the European Union.
