Ukraine fails to fill key posts as corruption scandal lingers
Ukraine's government has no active candidates for the vacant position of energy minister, two sources familiar with the process said, underlining how a corruption scandal is complicating efforts to fill key posts at a critical time.More than four weeks after Svitlana Hrynchuk and German Galushchenko were dismissed as energy and justice ministers respectively, their replacements have not yet been found, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this week.He has also not appointed a new chief of staff after the Nov. 28 resignation of former right-hand man Andriy Yermak, who had been at Zelenskyy's side since long before Russia began its almost 4-year-old war in Ukraine.
