Leszek Balcerowicz may become Prime Minister of Ukraine

According to the popular Ukrainian Internet newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda ("Ukrainian Truth"), Leszek Balcerowicz may become the Prime Minister of Ukraine. The newspaper claims that the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko has sent a deputy (legislator) to Balcerowicz, who must convince the former Deputy Prime Minister of Poland to accept the position. However, there has been no official information to confirm it at the moment. The source asserts that MPs related to Petro Poroshenko's Bloc "Solidarity" and the President's political consultant, Igor Gryniv have been negotiating with Leszek Balcerowicz since December 2015, but he still hasn't agreed. "He has support both from the West, and from the middle class in Ukraine. He is ready to 'clean the stables' from party appointees," says Petro Poroshenko Bloc's member. Currently, Kiev is very interested in Polish experience of 'shock therapy' ('Balcerowicz's Plan').
