KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's newly appointed Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said on Thursday that her government would be launching a full audit of public finances to achieve "real savings", and that large-scale privatisations should be accelerated.
Svyrydenko, who was voted in by parliament earlier in the day, said on X that her priorities in the role would be to ensure reliable supplies to the army and to expand domestic weapons production.
