Then Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Vladyslav Kryklii speaks with the Kyiv Post on April 29, 2021 in his office in Kyiv. It was his last interview as minister. Two weeks after Kriklii spoke with the Kyiv Post, President Volodymyr Zelensky showed him the door; parliament officially dismissed him on May 18.
Vladyslav Kryklii was in his early 30s when he became the minister of infrastructure.
The young official took office in 2019, inheriting the mantle of managing — and trying to improve — thousands of kilometers of poor roads, bad railways, and an aviation industry knocked low by the pandemic.
