[6] Honcharuk later told journalists that his father's death was the motivating factor for his decision to reform emergency medical services as Prime Minister.

[13] In April 2016, Honcharuk once again met Kubiv, who invited him to become his advisor pro bono as Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Development.

[6] At the end of 2018, Honcharuk co-created the liberal conservative People are Important [uk] non-government organisation, which was intended to grow into a political party.

[20] Among the most critical decrees during Honcharuk's time in the presidential administration were those counteracting illegal takeover and smuggling and those promoting the introduction of new approaches in infrastructure.

[20] According to Ukrayinska Pravda, in the spring of 2019, Monobank co-founder Dmytro Dubilet introduced Honcharuk to Andriy Bohdan as the one "who brought him to Bankova".

[21] First aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Serhii Shefir [uk] confirmed that Bohdan was responsible for the appointment of Honcharuk in the presidential administration.

[6] On 27 August, international media reported that Zelenskyy would propose that the Verkhovna Rada appoint Honcharuk to the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine.

[23] On 29 August, he was officially nominated for the post of Prime Minister and the same day the Verkhovna Rada easily approved Honcharuk with 290 deputies voting in favour of his appointment.

[24] The Western press drew attention to the prime minister's young age, his "workaholism" and promises to achieve sharp GDP growth.

[25] High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union Josep Borrell admitted at the annual EU-Ukraine summit in Brussels that the Honcharuk government's reform agenda had been ambitious and had made significant progress in five months.

[27] According to the media, this was the first Government's Program of Action, where ministers had clear indicators with specific KPI's and dates of their implementation.

[28] Honcharuk proposed a fundamental reconstruction of the State Geocadastre of Ukraine [uk], in the process removing 20 of the service's 24 oblast-level heads.

[32] That allowed the State Property Fund to sell the first large object at the auction, the Dnipro Hotel in the centre of Kyiv, for a record ₴1.1 billion in July 2020.

Thanks to the work of Honcharuk's government, the contract with Russia for gas transportation was signed on favourable terms for Ukraine.

[36] In October 2019, the Government of Oleksiy Honcharuk and the National Bank, headed by Yakov Smoliy, signed a memorandum of understanding to achieve sustainable economic growth and price stability.

[37] This memorandum between the government and the National Bank allowed Ukraine in January 2020 to place Eurobonds at the cheapest interest rates in Ukrainian history.

[39] Citing his father's 2003 death in a car accident, Honcharuk invested heavily into the emergency medical services of Ukraine.

[47][48] Zelenskyy, who could not dismiss Honcharuk without the assent of the Verkhovna Rada, refused to accept the resignation, saying, "Now is not the time to undermine the state, economically or politically".

The event, at which he spoke on stage, was arranged by notorious far-right figure Andriy Medvedko [uk], who chairs an organisation for veterans of the war in Donbas linked to the S14 group and is a suspect in the murder of journalist Oles Buzina.

[61] On 15 January 2020, an audio recording of a conversation allegedly between Honcharuk, Deputy Head of the NBU Kateryna Rozhkova and Finance Minister Oksana Markarova was leaked on the Internet.
