Sergey Koretzky, heading 'Naftogaz of Ukraine', officially met with the 'Servant of the People' faction in the capacity of a candidate for the post of Prime Minister. The meeting took place without the participation of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the formation of a full package of ministers under his leadership is expected by evening. According to Olga Vasilevskaya-Smaglyuk, a deputy from 'Servant of the People', who shared details on Telegram, tomorrow's session of the Verkhovna Rada will begin with a vote for the Prime Minister. By 18:00, parliament will consider and vote on the entire package of ministers β€” including separate appointments for the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. ### Top priorities for the new Prime Minister: winter, the army, and mental health Koretzky outlined three main directions for his work. The first is preparing the country for the next winter, which he considers no less difficult than the previous one. The second is full and total support for the Ministry of Defense. The third is the development of the system of mental and psychological health for Ukrainians, which became one of the central points of his program. ### Context: Sviridenko's resignation and the choice of Koretzky The decision to update the Cabinet of Ministers was announced by the president as early as Sunday, July 12. The very next day, the Rada accepted the resignation of Yulia Sviridenko and her entire government. Zelenskyy offered the former Prime Minister a new position β€” likely in the USA, although she has not yet given final consent. As early as Sunday, RBC-Ukraine sources named Koretzky as the main candidate for the post of Prime Minister. On the same day, Zelenskyy invited him to a meeting. Koretzky himself has not yet commented on rumors about his appointment, but the meeting with the faction became the first official step in this process. ### What's next? Tomorrow will be decisive: parliament must approve the new Prime Minister and the entire composition of the government. If the vote is successful, Ukraine will receive new leadership that will work under conditions of ongoing war and economic challenges. Koretzky, known for his work in the energy sector, is now taking responsibility for managing the entire country.
