Zelensky found new governors for the Odessa and Kharkov regions
At today's meeting, the Cabinet of Ministers agreed on the appointment of new chairmen of the Odessa and Ternopil regional administrations, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the government press service.
The Odessa region will be headed by entrepreneur Maxim Kutsy. He is the ultimate beneficiary of a number of Kyiv companies: Service and Management LLC (construction), Media Partner (advertising agency), Digital Partnership (information services), City Corps (construction).
The region has been living without a governor for six months after the April resignation of Maxim Stepanov.
The Ternopil region will be headed by Igor Sopel, who ran from the “Servant of the People” in the 166th constituency in the Ternopil region, but lost to self-nominated Mykola Lyushnyak. Sopel is the head of the Khorostkovsky regional structural division of Agribusiness LLC, which produces bakery products. In 2010-2015 he was a deputy of the Khorostkov City Council. Since 2017 - head of the local football federation.
The previous Ternopil governor, Stepan Barna, was fired by Zelensky back in June.
The press service of the Cabinet of Ministers also reported that the Kharkiv region will be headed by former lawyer and now Verkhovna Rada deputy Aleksey Kucher, also representing the Servant of the People. He should replace Yulia Svetlichnaya in this position. But later it turned out that Kucher had not yet been approved.
All of them will take office only after the relevant decrees are signed by President Vladimir Zelensky.
