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).
