Yesterday, the events of recent weeks received a logical continuation: the Verkhovna Rada sent Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s government to resignation; he was replaced by Vladimir Groysman.

Despite the fact that Vladimir Groysman is a fairly young politician, his election could be a compromise for all parties, which are aimed at management of the country. In my opinion, Groysman is an example of an effective manager and innovator, who is not only familiar with the existing control system, with all its minuses and archaisms, but is an example of a new generation of politicians. He was a manager and a pioneer who is not afraid of radical solutions. These solutions are not chaotic, but systematic: he demonstrated his management abilities well at the post of mayor of Vinnitsa City. Personally, I am very impressed by his focus on European governance standards.

Now, of course, many people will say, "Yes, since Groysman is Jewish, you like him for sure." Yes, he is Jewish, and yes, I like him, but it's more a coincidence than regularity; here the nationality plays no role. If he were Tatar, Polish or even Russian, I would like him the same way. First of all, I am impressed by Groysman as a person who understands the rightness and prospects of relations between Ukraine and Israel. On his initiative, in 2012, the ultra-modern diagnostic center was opened in Vinnitsa City, equipped with Israeli technology. This was the result of round-the-clock negotiations: Groysman was able to convince the Israeli partners in the prospects of such a project. As a result, the city (and the country) received a wonderful Center.

In addition, Groysman established and maintained contacts with many Israeli businessmen, trying to ensure that his city could become an example of cooperation between Israel and Ukraine. In total, during his work in Vinnitsa City, thanks to Vladimir Groysman, the city's budget was rose by 750 million hryvnias. So I just believe in his managerial skills: he showed himself "before" and not "after".
I want to believe that Groysman as Prime Minister is able to achieve more significant results than his predecessor, and his work will contribute to strengthening the well-being of both Ukraine and its image in the international arena.
