KIEV, Ukraine, (APP/AFP) – Ukraine’s parliament Thursday confirmed the appointment of pro-Western speaker Volodymyr Groysman as premier in a bid to end months of political gridlock and unlock vital
aid to the war torn-state.
Lawmakers voted by 257 to 50 to approve the resignation of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk — condemned by President Petro Poroshenko for losing the public’s trust — and select Groysman in the first cabinet overhaul since Ukraine’s 2014 pro-EU revolt.
