“Three to four ministers” could be sacked this fall, parl’t speaker suggests

Verkhovna Rada Chairman Dmytro Razumkov has predicted that three to four ministers will be dismissed late September or early October 2021.

The comment came during Razumkov’s interview with the Interfax-Ukraine news agency, Ukrinform reports.

"I have already said this: I’m inclined to believe the number will be three or four. Let’s not name anyone just yet. I assume, however, that in the near future the Cabinet will see some reshuffles. I guess this will be late September – early October," Razumkov said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, MPs with the ruling Servant of the People parliamentary faction at a meeting on September 20 will discuss staff rotations in the Cabinet of Ministers.

In turn, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said he had no issues about the ministries' work that would require top reshuffles, adding that the Government continues to work as usual.
