In 2015-2017, Dmytro Natalukha headed the Lyman District Administration, and later worked at Lead/Augury, which is engaged in strategic and crisis communications, government relations, branding, and political consulting.

Co-chair of the group on interparliamentary relations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Currently, the State Property Fund is temporarily headed by Ivanna Smachylo, former deputy head of the Rivne Regional State Administration for
digital development, digital transformation and digitalization.

Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada supported the resignations of Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, and SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed appointing Denys Shmyhal as First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, while Mykhailo Fedorov was offered the post of Minister of Defense.
