Ukraine appointed Naftogaz chief executive Serhii Koretskyi as prime minister this past week in its biggest wartime cabinet reshuffle, testing whether reconstruction reforms that underpin billions of euros in international financing will stay on course.
Koretskyi, confirmed as prime minister on 16 July, has sought to reassure international partners that Ukraine's "strategic course remains unchanged." His priorities include supporting the armed forces, expanding the defence industrial base, preparing for winter, supporting businesses, making effective use of international aid and advancing housing programmes.
