Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal confirmed the information regarding Vice Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov’s business trip, noting that it will last until the end of this week
The head of government announced this during the traditional hour of questions to the government, which took place on June 20. According to Shmyhal, the relevant documents confirming Chernyshov's presence abroad were signed before the end of the current week. “The business trip of the vice prime minister has been signed and remains valid until the end of this week,” — the prime minister stated during a live broadcast, responding to a question about the timeframe for completing this trip. Exact dates or additional details about the purpose and destinations of Chernyshov’s travels have not been officially disclosed at this time, but the fact of the ongoing trip has been confirmed from official sources. It is worth noting that this information has gained particular significance in the context of recent political discussions and scandals related to the vice premier's activities. Rumors and assumptions have recently emerged regarding Chernyshov's possible involvement in a case that is currently actively discussed in the media. Specifically, this refers to the so-called “Circle of the President” — an area of research and journalistic investigation concerning corrupt schemes and the influence of high-ranking officials on the country's political life. The prime minister has not yet provided additional comments regarding the duration of the trip or its purpose, promising to focus on fulfilling current government tasks. However, society and political circles are already actively discussing the possible motives behind the trip and its potential impact on the work of the Cabinet of Ministers. The basis for these debates includes not only personal and political interests but also speculation about Chernyshov’s potential involvement in certain issues that have caused resonance among the public. It should be noted that official sources currently do not report on the vice prime minister’s future plans, nor do they indicate any changes in his status or functional responsibilities following the completion of the trip. At the same time, political experts are already beginning to analyze possible scenarios for the development of events in this situation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining transparency and objectivity in public policy and confirming the government’s official positions.
