It Became Known Who Officially Advises Serhiy Koretskyi (Document) – Suspicion

The first adviser whom the prime minister chose for himself was lawyer Ruslan Kvityn.

The first adviser whom Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky appointed after his appointment was Ruslan Kvityn. He was appointed 11 in August. Kvityn serves on a voluntary basis, meaning he does not receive a salary for his services. This is stated in the material by Hlavkom, “Eyes and Ears of Koretsky’s Government. The full list of advisers to the prime minister and his ministers.”

Koretsky and Kvityn have been closely cooperating for at least the last four years. Thus, 9 in November 2022 Kvityn chaired the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of JSC Ukrnafta, during which Koretsky was elected head of the enterprise. Moreover, the meeting authorized Kvityn to sign a contract with the new director of Ukrnafta.

As of the beginning of September Koretsky had one adviser, Ruslan Kvityn.

In the Getcontact mobile app, subscribers labeled Ruslan Kvityn as “Ruslan Kvityn, lawyer” and “Kvityn, Main Directorate of Military Justice.” His right to practice law was suspended from 7 to 2022 on the basis of a statement. In 2024 Kvityn held the position of deputy head of the Main Directorate of Military Justice and held the rank of senior lieutenant of justice.

As of mid-September, Koretsky’s pool of advisers working on a voluntary basis had expanded. In addition to Kvityn, Anna Koziarska and Oleh Kryzhanivskyi also now advise the head of government.

Koziarska has submitted declarations as an adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the last ten years. Kryzhanivskyi worked as deputy director for legal affairs, director of the Department for Management of Corporate Rights at the Ministry of Energy, and as deputy director of the Department of Research and Investigations at the Antimonopoly Committee.

For comparison, previous prime ministers during Volodymyr Zelensky’s presidency had different approaches to forming advisory teams. For example, Yulia Svyrydenko worked with one staff adviser, one assistant, and five advisers on a voluntary basis.

Danylo Shmyhal, who headed the government for a record five years and four months, worked with 18 advisers. Half of them worked in paid positions.

Oleksiy Honcharuk, who managed to be prime minister for only seven months, is remembered for a large number of advisers. The first head of government under Zelensky had four staff advisers, 22 freelance advisers, and two assistants.

As a reminder, 16 in July the Verkhovna Rada appointed Serhiy Koretsky as prime minister of Ukraine. His candidacy was supported by 289 members of parliament. Before this, he headed Ukrnafta and Ukrtatnafta, and started his career in the fuel-and-energy sector as a security guard in the KontinYum group of companies. More about the prime minister’s path is in the Politician dossier the Hlavkom published.

Before the vote, Koretsky stated that the new Cabinet should become a “government of defense, economic development, and European integration.” Among his priorities he named ensuring the defense forces, scaling the defense-industrial complex, preparing for winter, supporting business, veterans, and internally displaced persons, and moving Ukraine toward the EU.
