Ukraine Approves New Prime Minister

Ukraine Approves New Prime Minister
Ukraine's parliament approved Volodymyr Groysman as Ukraine's new prime minister (Kyiv Post) Thursday, following the resignation of former Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk earlier this week. The approval of Groysman, an ally of President Petro Poroshenko, has raised hopes that Ukraine may be able to move forward with a new government after being hampered by political deadlock amid accusations of graft in Yatsenyuk's administration and delays in securing a bailout loan from the International Monetary Fund (WaPo). Groysman promised to crack down on corruption and pursue closer ties with Europe (RFE/RL).
