On September 4, the “Servant of the People” faction held a meeting at which they discussed a large-scale “reboot” of the government. By information “Ukrainian Pravda”, this decision will be accompanied by significant personnel changes.
It is known that Iryna Vereshchuk will leave the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories, which will be liquidated, and move to the President’s Office, where she will deal with social policy.
