Details: Zelenskyy said that new members are to be appointed to the supervisory boards in December following a clear and fair procedure.
He also instructed Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal to carry out an urgent reboot of supervisory boards in the defence sector.
"It is through supervisory boards that management and oversight of internal processes in companies are carried out, and this must be ensured one hundred percent," the president noted.
