Jaanika Merilo has become the latest foreign national to join the Ukrainian government.

The Estonian has taken up a position as an advisor to the minister for economic development who is himself also a foreigner – Lithuanian Aivaras Abromavicius.

Merilo will be tasked with bringing more foreign investment into Ukraine and improving the country's business climate.

Foreign appointments have become a key part of Ukraine's mission to reform its economy and crack down on corruption.

The country now boasts three non-Ukrainians in the ranks of its cabinet.

Alongside Abromavicius are US-born Natalie Jaresko as finance minister and Alexander Kvitashvili, who is now Ukraine's Health Minister.

All three were granted Ukrainian citizenship just hours before they took up their posts.
