Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy ousted Oleksiy Honcharuk as prime minister after just six months in a reshuffle on Wednesday, saying that “new brains and new hearts” were required to revive the economy and tackle corruption.
At a special parliament session, lawmakers voted to accept the resignation of Honcharuk, 35, who left as Ukraine’s youngest and most short-lived prime minister since independence in 1991.
He was replaced by Denys Shymgal, who said his immediate challenge was to stave off an economic and budget crisis. He wanted to revise the 2020 budget, cut the salaries of ministers and some officials, and also said the strong hryvnia currency had hurt exports.
The shake-up threw Ukraine’s commitment to reforms into focus at a time when it is trying to finalize a new loan program with the International Monetary Fund that is seen as crucial to economic stability and investor confidence.
Other more experienced operators also joined the cabinet, signaling a change of direction for Zelenskiy, who was elected last year as an outsider who would bring new faces to politics.

Biden?
His is like new, hardly used!
Biden for a Premier, Vindman for SecDef and Biden Jr. for anti-graft comission.
Here’s a suggestion.
They could stop sending money to Clinton-Biden.
That alone would save millions
