"Denys Monastyrskyi worked non-stop, every day, for the good of Ukraine. Just like his team. Yevhen Yenin. Yuriy Lubkovych, Tetiana Shutyak, Mykola Anatskyi, Mykhailo Pavlushko, Andriy Marynchenko. Patriots, professionals, devoted to their Motherland to the last. Rest in peace," the prime minister said.
