Sam Volodymyr Groysman is also the youngest prime minister in over twenty-five years of Ukrainian independence. The head of government – is 38 years old. However, there is already a lot on his political account. He was a long-standing mayor of Vinnitsa. There turned out to be a good host. Before taking the post of prime minister was the chairman of the parliament.
The newspaper “Siewodnia” is, however, a plan for the government, that is, actions that must be taken immediately, because, as it is written, several months the political crisis, which took office Yatsenyuk caused a lot of backlog. So the new team ruling should stabilize the economic situation through tough monetary policy, intensify talks with the International monetary Fund in order to obtain loans, but also to regain the confidence of society through, perhaps, to correct the planned price increases of gas and electricity. at the end of the most important – reforms: judicial, prosecutor’s office, local government and the fight against corruption.
