Ukrainian parliament approved the appointment of lawmaker Andriy Kostin as the country's prosecutor general on Wednesday, the prosecutor general's office said.
Some 299 deputies in the 450-seat parliament endorsed Kostin's appointment, it said on the Telegram messaging app.
Kostin is a member of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's Servant of the People party. The president had earlier nominated Kostin to replace Iryna Venediktova, who was removed as prosecutor general earlier this month.
