Yulia Svyrydenko: from Deputy to Prime Minister

Svyrydenko is not a new figure in the government. She has been working in the Cabinet of Ministers (with a break in the President's Office) since September 2019, when she became Deputy Minister of Economy in the team of Tymofiy Mylovanov in the government of Oleksiy Honcharuk .

"She knows how to disassemble an engine and reassemble it. Even if the engine is broken, she will somehow clean it, rearrange something, wash it, and it will go," says LIGA.net Milovanov.
