KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's new President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has appointed a mix of people to his core team, which includes a reformist former finance minister, men with ties to a controversial oligarch and people from his TV production company.
Zelenskiy was an actor and comedian who entered the presidential race as a political novice. He defeated then- incumbent Petro Poroshenko by a landslide in April but has faced scrutiny over his ties to businessman Ihor Kolomoisky.
