Ukraine state energy boss Koretsky becomes new PM

Ukraine's parliament on Thursday approved the appointment of Naftogaz state energy boss Sergiy Koretsky as the new prime minister, part of a disputed government reshuffle ordered by President Volodymyr Zelensky. Yulia Svyrydenko resigned as prime minister on Tuesday as part of the reshuffle, for which Zelensky offered only the vague explanation that Kyiv was "changing its political strategy" amid "new challenges and new tasks".
