Ukraine's parliament approved Sergiy Koretsky as the country's new Prime Minister as part of President Volodymyr Zelensky's government reshuffle. The leadership change comes amid the ongoing war with Russia, criticism over the removal of senior officials and continued attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
Kyiv, July 16: Ukraine's parliament on Thursday approved the appointment of Naftogaz chief Sergiy Koretsky as the country's new Prime Minister, as part of a controversial government reshuffle initiated by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Koretsky, 48, has been chosen to steer Ukraine through another difficult winter, with the country expected to face continued Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure. However, Zelensky has not fully explained the rationale behind the overhaul of his top political team, which has sparked criticism over the removal of the widely respected defence minister.
Koretsky Outlines Achievements
Addressing parliament, Koretsky highlighted his record at Naftogaz, Ukraine's state energy company, where he oversaw the country's heating system during a winter marked by Russian drone and missile attacks that caused widespread blackouts and heating disruptions, AFP reported.
