German Valeriiovych Galushchenko, also Herman Valeriiovych Halushchenko (Ukrainian: Герман Валерійович Галущенко; born 1 May 1973), is a Ukrainian lawyer currently serving as Minister of Energy of Ukraine since 29 April 2021. He is also a member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine since 13 May 2021.[1]
He has been outspoken regarding Ukraine's energy situation[2] and the IAEA's role in the protection of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine.[3][4]
Until the end of August 2020, he was a member of the governing bodies of the Patriot party, which defines itself as a center-right political force. In the 2019 presidential election, the party nominated economist Andriy Novak as its candidate, who received 0.02% of the vote.[5]
