The Cabinet of Ministers held its first meeting in the new composition. Each minister was tasked with developing a concrete action plan, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
"We held the first meeting of the new government immediately after the parliamentary vote. Each minister must outline a clear action plan in the shortest possible time. No abstractions," the head of government wrote.
According to her, these plans will be presented publicly and discussed with the relevant parliamentary committees. After that, ministers will be required to report on their progress regularly.
Svyrydenko noted she already has positive experience working with the Economic Committee and expects the same constructive cooperation with other committees.
The Prime Minister also highlighted that the new government is one of the smallest in terms of the number of ministers in Ukraine’s history.
