The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has appointed Oleksiy Chernyshov, former Minister for Community and Territorial Development, to the newly created position of Vice Prime Minister – Minister of National Unity.
Chernyshov’s appointment was approved by 237 MPs.
MP Oleksiy Honcharenko, who voiced his opposition to the rushed decision, criticized the process, remarking, “This nonsense about creating a new ministry only passed because of Opposition Platform for Life votes.”
The lawmaker also expressed frustration with prime minister Denys Shmyhal’s handling of the new appointment., arguing Shmyhal neither clarified the dual role Chernyshov will play.
“Powerful,” Honcharenko quipped wryly in his statement on social media.
The proposal to vote on Chernyshov’s candidacy came up on the morning of December 3, and by the afternoon, Shmyhal personally presented the new position and his nominee in the Ukrainian parliament.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
