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.
