The Verkhovna Rada voted for the appointment of Serhii Koretskyi as Prime Minister of Ukraine
289 deputies voted for this decision, RBC-Ukraine writes.
Serhii Koretskyi previously headed "Naftogaz of Ukraine"; he replaces Yuliia Svyrydenko in the position.
Koretskyi is 48 years old; Zelenskyy said yesterday that he is the most likely candidate for the post of prime minister.
He held his first serious positions in the Continuum group of companies. In 2013, he became the CEO of the WOG chain of gas stations, which belonged to Continuum.
He returned to big business after the state nationalized the companies "Ukrnafta" and "Ukrtatnafta". He headed both companies and, according to the publication's sources, worked successfully in these positions.
In early 2025, Koretskyi submitted his candidacy for the head of Naftogaz and won the competition. Under his leadership, the company, which had just gone through the difficult heating season of 2024-2025, began to accumulate gas for the next winter. Koretskyi was also responsible for finding creditors for this.
Zelenskyy offered him to head the Ministry of Energy, but Koretskyi refused, convincing the president that he should remain at Naftogaz ahead of the winter season.
