KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's new President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday appointed former economy minister Aivaras Abromavicius to the supervisory board of the state defence conglomerate Ukroboronprom, a decree published on his website said.
Zelenskiy, a former comedian, was elected despite having no prior political experience, so investors are watching closely to see how many reform-minded people he brings into cabinet.
