The Prime Minister of Ukraine draws attention to the fact that after the decision of the selection committee, proper checks, and passing a polygraph test, there are no longer any reservations about his candidacy.
According to Yulia Svyrydenko, she and all government ministers are counting on updating the work of the Bureau, strengthening the institution, and achieving a significant level of trust between the Bureau and Ukrainian entrepreneurs.
It is important that economic relations in Ukraine are not distorted by shadowy schemes and that business can count on respect from the state, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers added.
What is important to understand is that Tsyvinsky's appointment was previously blocked, allegedly after reservations from the SBU due to his father's Russian citizenship.
As Tsyvinsky himself noted, he was not officially informed, and the competition commission resubmitted his documents to the Cabinet of Ministers.
