This was reported by the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, on Telegram.

What priorities did Koretsky name

According to Arakhamia, Serhiy Koretsky identified the support of Ukrainians and the country’s preparation for the new heating season among the main tasks of the government.

The candidate for the post of Prime Minister paid special attention to strengthening the Defense Forces of Ukraine and protecting critical infrastructure.

During the meeting, representatives of the faction also discussed the possible structure of the new Cabinet of Ministers and the principles of its further work.

Why do Servant of the People support Koretsky

David Arakhamia emphasized that Serhiy Koretsky has significant experience in both the state and corporate sectors.

In particular, he managed Ukrnafta and the Naftogaz group. The parliamentary faction particularly notes his experience in the energy sector.
