President Zelenskiy yesterday failed for second time in one month to muster enough Rada votes to make Yuriy Vitrenko Energy Minister

President Zelenskiy yesterday failed for second time in one month to muster enough Rada votes to make Yuriy Vitrenko Energy Minister. Although Zelenskiy’s Servant of the People has a majority in parliament, Vitrenko won only 204 of the needed 226 to be ratified as minister. A reformist opposed to oligarchic influence in the energy industry, Vitrenko failed to win the votes of ruling party parliamentarians affiliated with Ihor Kolomoisky. Cheap electricity prices are keys to profitability of Kolomoisky’s aging and energy intensive metallurgy plants.
