At the same time, the Rada failed to approve Maksym Stepanov as Yemets's successor.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Member of Parliament with the European Solidarity parliamentary faction Iryna Gerashchenko said Serhiy Marchenko was being considered as a nominee for the finance minister's post, while Maksym Stepanov was seen as a candidate for a health minister's post.
