Kiev / 24.04.20 / Turan: Ex-President of Georgia and former head of the Odessa region of Ukraine Mikheil Saakashvili accepted the proposal of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to take the post of Deputy Prime Minister for Reform in the Government of Ukraine.
"I accepted President Zelensky’s proposal," he said Friday before meeting with members of the Servants of the People faction, specifying that he was entrusted with "engaging in negotiations with the IMF."
“Ukraine needs much more help from international financial institutions. I am for the integration of Ukraine into the world community, for the accelerated integration of Ukraine into Europe, but on our terms," he said.
"Extraordinary measures need to be taken. It is very important for me to strengthen work with the parliament, and oligarchic and private interests must be set aside and everything should be done to free Ukrainian business, which is feudally dependent on the state," Saakashvili said. -02D-
