The appropriate person has been chosen, and the competition committee depends on the finalization of this decision. Why is it sensitive? The answer is obvious. Without a full-time leader of such an institution, its full functioning is impossible. By the way, the same applies to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.

I have instructed the Prime Minister of Ukraine to start the process of launching the corresponding competition”, – said Zelensky.
