Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said on April 22 that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had offered him the job of deputy prime minister for reforms.

The offer comes as Zelensky’s administration is under pressure to push through reforms as it desperately needs foreign loans amid the global economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The administration has also recently faced its first corruption scandal, and gave a weak response to accusations.
