KIEV - The son of a film producer who helped President Volodymyr Zelenskiy become a household name as an actor has been appointed the Ukrainian government’s chief economic adviser, a senior government official said on Thursday.
Alexander Rodnyansky, an economist at Britain’s Cambridge University, had already been part of a team of advisers and worked on Zelenskiy’s economic program after he was elected this year. Since he rose to power, Zelenskiy has appointed a chief of staff who was the lawyer of a tycoon, Ihor Kolomoisky, whose business ties to Zelenskiy have colored investors’ views on Ukraine. He has also appointed several friends and business associates to positions in government, but he has denied accusations of nepotism.
1+1 was later acquired by Kolomoisky, and the channel became a platform for Zelenskiy’s election campaign.
