President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Philip Pronin as the new head of the Poltava Regional State Administration, according to a government decree issued on Oct. 10.
Pronin previously held anti-corruption roles in the State Financial Monitoring Committee and other Ukrainian government agencies.
The move comes at a time where the Ukrainian president is under pressure to eliminate pervasive corruption in his government in order to maintain support from the U.S. and other donors who have committed more than $165 billion since Feb. 2022.
Pronin, 41, holds a master’s degree in international economics from the Kyiv University of Economics and has worked for KPMG’s Ukraine audit office.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
