President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal’s experience will be useful in the position of Minister of Defense in the renewed government.
As reported by Ukrinform, the President made this statement during a video address.
“Today, I spoke with Yuliia Svyrydenko – I have proposed that she head the Government of Ukraine and renew its work based on her extensive experience in supporting Ukrainian production and Ukrainian entrepreneurship, which Yuliia has as First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy. The tremendous experience of Denys Shmyhal will undoubtedly be valuable in the role of Minister of Defense – this is exactly the area where the country’s greatest resources, the heaviest workload, and the highest responsibility lie right now. I am counting on sufficient support from the Members of Parliament for the new configuration of the Government of Ukraine. It is also important that the Government promptly conducts an audit of all agreements with our partners to determine what is working and what requires reassessment or intensification,” Zelensky stressed.

The President also noted the importance of deregulation and giving society more opportunities to develop the country’s internal potential.
“It is also essential to eliminate all excessive bureaucracy and duplication of functions in our state institutions – this will definitely allow us to reduce all unnecessary spending. At the same time, we must provide greater social stability for our people, for all Ukrainians. All resilience programs in Ukraine must operate at full capacity,” Zelensky added.
As reported by Ukrinform, yesterday, July 13, the President announced after a meeting with Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal a governance transformation aimed at reducing the costs of maintaining the state apparatus and directing maximum resources toward the defense of Ukraine.
