Zelensky awaits results of customs reform
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky commented on the appointment of former Georgia President Mikheil Saakashvili as chairman of the Executive Reform Committee. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Ukrinform.
So, during a briefing as part of a visit to the transcarpathian region, the Ukrainian president said he expected positive results from Saakashvili’s activities in the coming months.

Furthermore, Zelensky is interested in assisting the former President of Georgia in the implementation of pension reform in Ukraine.

RBC-Ukraine also wrote that Saakashvili’s appointment was criticized in Georgia, where he was placed on the wanted list. On Friday, May 8, Georgia called its Ukrainian ambassador for consultations.
