KYIV, July 16 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s parliament voted on Thursday to appoint energy executive Sergii Koretskyi as prime minister, the third since the start of Russia’s invasion in 2022.
Koretskyi, previously CEO of the state energy giant Naftogaz, was praised by lawmakers as a capable and efficient manager. He received 289 votes in favour.
Addressing parliament before the vote, Koretskyi said that Ukraine’s defence, economic stability and integration into the European Union were his key priorities.
