Ukraine president's pick Goncharuk approved as new PM

Ukraine's parliament on Thursday approved President Volodymyr Zelensky's candidate for prime minister -- a 35-year-old lawyer who works for his administration called Oleksiy Goncharuk, Daily Sabah reports.

A majority of deputies voted to back Goncharuk, who has just three months of government experience and promised to "put an end" to corruption during a speech in parliament.

"We have more than 10 million people living below the poverty line.... We have war in the east, and above all of this we have corruption. We have to stop it and we will," he said to applause. "The new government will not steal."
