Zelensky's team began to squabble between hostile groups over 200 key portfolios
The issue of personnel appointments will become a serious test for the newly elected President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.
Ruslan Bortnik, director of the Ukrainian Institute for Policy Analysis and Management, announced this at a press conference in Kyiv, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The issue of personnel appointments for Zelensky’s team can be extremely painful and destructive. Because 6-8 pressure groups within this team are fighting to advance their candidacies to the presidential quota. This includes the head of the Presidential Administration, his deputy, and heads of departments and below.
These are the head of the NBU, the Prosecutor General, ministers, and other positions. There are at least 200 important positions. Zelensky must schedule 6-8 groups within the team during a confrontation.
If external issues can be resolved publicly, then the issue of personnel appointments is a serious challenge for the team. This is the first test of the political maturity of the newly elected president,” the political scientist warned.
Zelensky's team is in the midst of a battle between rival factions over 200 key portfolios.
