- He set a year-end deadline to complete the competition for the head of the Asset Recovery and Management Agency, with full coordination with anti-corruption bodies, and ordered audits and preparations to sell assets linked to Russian entities and collaborators.
- He mandated a new Energoatom supervisory board within a week and accelerated open competitions for leadership at Ukrhydroenergo and the gas transmission operator, with Naftogaz board recruitment to activate in January 2026.
