One of the key posts was taken by <strong>Denis Shmygal<\/strong> \u2014 he became First Deputy Prime Minister and, at the same time, took charge of the Ministry of Energy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1146\" data-end=\"1344\">The post of Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration was awarded to <strong>Vsevolod Chentsov<\/strong>. Tetiana Berezhna has been appointed Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Minister for Culture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1523\">The following person has been appointed Minister for Reconstruction, Infrastructure and Transport <strong>Mykola Kalashnyk<\/strong>. Vitaliy Bezgin has been appointed Minister for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1626\"><strong>Matviy Bidnyi<\/strong> was appointed Minister for Youth and Sport, and <strong>Vitaly Kim<\/strong> \u2014 Minister for Veterans\u2019 Affairs.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"2f7ylo\" data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1675\">Vygivsky has taken charge of the Ministry of the Interior, whilst Lyashko remains at the Ministry of Health<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"1823\">One of the notable personnel changes was the appointment of <strong>Ivan Vygovsky<\/strong> Minister of the Interior. The Ministry of Education and Science was headed by <strong>Andriy Butenko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"1987\">At the same time, some government officials retained their posts.<strong> Viktor Lyashko<\/strong> will continue to head the Ministry of Health, and <strong>Sergey Marchenko<\/strong> remained Minister of Finance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1989\" data-end=\"2125\">The following person has been appointed Minister for the Economy and the Environment <strong>Oleksandr Kravchenko<\/strong>.

Denis Maslov has been appointed Minister of Justice.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2237\" data-end=\"2343\">There have been some changes within the government\u2019s digital division. Oksana Ferchuk has been appointed head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"kzeqxh\" data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2402\">The Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have yet to appoint new leaders<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2404\" data-end=\"2603\">Although the core line-up of the Cabinet of Ministers has been formed, two key personnel issues remain unresolved. No new heads of the Ministry of Defence or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have yet been appointed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2605\" data-end=\"2913\">These posts are of particular importance in the context of a full-scale war. The Ministry of Defence is responsible for a significant proportion of the processes involved in supporting the Armed Forces and for defence policy, whilst the Ministry of Foreign Affairs plays a central role in the international coalition supporting Ukraine, sanctions policy and diplomatic engagement with partners.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2915\" data-end=\"2986\">It is expected that staffing decisions regarding these two departments will be determined separately.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1ggpoj0\" data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"3045\">The new government will be responsible for key areas<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3047\" data-end=\"3299\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/kandydaty-novoho-kabminu-ukrainy\/\">Formation of the Cabinet of Ministers<\/a> This marks the completion of the main phase of a large-scale reshuffle within the executive branch. The new team will have to work simultaneously on defence capabilities, energy, the economy, social policy, reconstruction and European integration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3301\" data-end=\"3526\">The change of leadership in a number of ministries also marks a transitional period for the civil service. The new heads of these departments will need to set priorities, put together their teams and ensure the continuity of programmes already underway.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3528\" data-end=\"3868\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">At the same time, the final composition of the government has not yet been finalised. The appointment of the Ministers of Defence and Foreign Affairs will be the next important personnel decision, particularly given the role of these departments during the war. Only then will it be possible to assess the full structure of the new Cabinet and the distribution of responsibilities for the main areas of state policy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serhiy Koretskyi has submitted a list of candidates for the Cabinet of Ministers to the Rada, including Denys Shmyhal.
