Career

Korolenko in 2013

Korolenko was named Minister of Industrial Policy of Ukraine on 5 February 2013, by proclamation of President Viktor Yanukovych. Ruslan Demchenko and Korolenko, attended the 2013 Dubai Airshow's inauguration. Vice President and UAE Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum visited the Ukrainian pavilion on the opening day of the show. There, he met Korolenko, the leader of the Ukrainian delegation, and learned about the aviation sector in Ukraine.

Russia modified its import laws and customs to launch an embargo of Ukrainian goods in mid-August 2013, to the point that the Federal Customs Service of Russia banned all shipments of products from Ukraine on 14 August. Prime Minister Mykola Azarov appointed Yuriy Boiko, Ihor Prasolov, Korolenko, Stepan Deryvolkov, Valery Muntiyan, and Viktor Suslov to a working committee to investigate issues with trade and economic cooperation between Ukraine and Russia.

Practically every industry in Ukraine has been impacted by Russia's tougher rules, but Korolenko claimed that the auto, railroad, and pipe manufacturing industries have been particularly hard hit. Russia has pledged to lift restrictions on steel pipe imports from Ukraine, Korolenko said at a press conference on 17 December. He referenced estimates from experts that, in the event that the Russian–Ukrainian action plan reached in Moscow on the same day by Russian and Ukrainian Presidents Vladimir Putin and Viktor Yanukovych had not taken place, Ukraine would have had to reduce its yearly exports to Russia by between $4 billion and $4.5 billion.

On 18 December 2013, Korolenko declared that as a result, Ukraine's exports had decreased by $1.4 billion. The Ukrainian government has decided to delay the signature of an Association Agreement with the European Union, citing economic setbacks that have worsened the nation's political crisis. According to Korolenko, he wants to make sure that the planned effort does not include shifting the focus or direction of Ukraine's international economic and diplomatic policy.

By a Verkhovna Rada vote on 27 February 2014, Korolenko was removed from his position as head of the Ministry of Industry and Policy. He then went on to preside over the open joint-stock company Zaporizhzhia Iron Ore Plant board from 14 May 2014 until 30 June 2020.

Personal life

Korolenko is married and has two children.
