Ukrainian president Zelensky rejects PM's resignation

I'm glad about this, the fellow that turned in his resignation was caught on tape allegedly, saying Zelensky wasn't good with the economy. After all, Zelensky's background is clearly being a comedian and tv producer. So, truly, he doesn't have that kind of background in economics.

Ukrainian president Zelensky rejects PM's resignation
Oleksiy Honcharuk given another chance after he was caught on tape criticizing president
