KYIV (Reuters) – Ukrainian parliament on Friday approved Andriy Pyshnyi, a banker who has helped advise the government on implementing sanctions against Russia, as the head of Ukraine’s central bank, a senior lawmaker said.
Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the first deputy chairman of parliament’s finance, tax and customs policy committee, said 290 lawmakers had supported the president’s nomination, easily passing the required amount.
