Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko stated that the problem of corruption in Ukraine is often exaggerated within society and certain social groups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

She stated this in a new interview with Bloomberg.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

She noted that most Ukrainians believe that corruption is widespread, but far fewer people have actually encountered it. “To be honest, within Ukrainian society and certain social groups, this problem is exaggerated and blown out of proportion,” the prime minister said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the same time, she said, external observers assess the situation using other criteria.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sviridenko also commented on the government’s refusal to approve the candidate for the post of head of the Bureau of Economic Security, recommended by the IMF and the European Commission. According to her, the Cabinet of Ministers acted within the framework of the procedure, voting collegially and returning the decision to the selection committee for consideration.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let us recall that on July 17, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved<\/a> the appointment of Yulia Svyrydenko as Prime Minister of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Let us note that on July 15, Denis Shmyhal wrote a statement about his dismissal from the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the Committee on the Organization of State Authority, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning at its meeting considered and approved the resignation of Denys Shmyhal from the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine<\/a> .<\/p>\n

By the way, President Volodymyr Zelensky officially confirmed that he offered the current Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal the position of Minister of Defense of Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

The day before, President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed that Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yulia Sviridenko head the Cabinet of Ministers.<\/a><\/p>\n

Subsequently, People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported that an official change of government is expected on July 16, within the framework of which Yulia Svyrydenko will be nominated for the post of Prime Minister instead of Denys Shmygal<\/a> . The changes will affect a number of ministries, including the defense, economic and social blocs.<\/p>\n
