Zelenskiy Nominates Naftogaz Ukrayna Head Koretskiy as Prime Minister Candidate

As a result of the consultations held, President of Ukraine Volodimir Zelenskiy has designated Serhiy Koretskiy, the head of the National Naftogaz Company of Ukraine (Naftogaz Ukrayna), as the most suitable candidate for the position of Prime Minister. In his statement, Zelenskiy expressed that Koretskiy is the most prepared name for this critical position.

This proposal brings to the agenda the appointment of an experienced figure in the management of the country's energy resources to the head of the government. Considering the major role of energy infrastructure in the country's economy, Koretskiy's leadership of a strategic company like Naftogaz holds significant importance. However, it is not yet clear how the approval process of the candidacy will proceed in the Ukrainian Parliament.
