Ukraine's President Zelenskiy Rejects Prime Minister's Resignation After Audio Recording Emerged Of The PM Criticizing Him

DW: Ukraine's President Zelenskiy rejects prime minister's resignation

The prime minister's offer to resign came after leaked audio appeared to show him criticize President Zelenskiy, a former comedian, for his lack of knowledge. Zelenskiy later said he would give Honchurak a second chance.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy rejected the resignation of Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk on Friday.

Honchurak was caught up in controversy after an audio recording emerged earlier this week that appeared to show him questioning Zelenskiy's ability to manage the economy.

He called Zelenskiy a "layman" in economics and said the president should be better educated. Zelenskiy is a former comedian with no political experience until he came into office in 2019.
