The potential appointment of Ukraine’s new Prime Minister has been the subject of discussions following an increase in the powers of Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science, and Technology Development, and Digital Transformation Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, as political analyst Ihor Reiterovych told Radio NV in an exclusive interview.
Reiterovych commented on the likelihood of a Cabinet of Ministers reshuffle and the potential for Mr. Fedorov to become the next prime minister, especially in light of his increasing influence in areas such as digitalization, education, drone technology, and the military.
