President Zelenskiy plans to replace Prime Minister Honcharuk at a special meeting of the Rada this afternoon, Bloomberg reports, citing lawmakers interviewed Tuesday evening after a ruling-party meeting. Also to go in the cabinet shuffle is Finance Minister Oksana Markarova, one of two ministers carried over the from the Poroshenko government. The likely successors are: for prime minister, Honcharuk’s deputy, Denys Shmyhal; and for finance minister, Ihor Umanskyi, who served as finance minister a decade. Zelenskiy, an actor by profession, reportedly is irritated by his government’s reduced public approval ratings.
