The Cabinet of Ministers plans to increase the composition of the Supervisory Board of Ukraine's state-owned defense giant Ukroboronprom up to 10-12 people, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman told ICTV channel.
"I believe that the Supervisory Board consisting of two people to deal with the whole Ukroboronprom concern is ridiculous. This would mean that someone was appointed just to divert attention and no results were received. I believe that this issue must be tackled in a more systemic way. We said that this could be 10-12 certified individuals with an impeccable reputation, who have access to classified information," Groysman said, adding that the composition of the Supervisory Board may change in the near future.
