Finite skew braces with solvable additive group

A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if A is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group, then the multiplicative group of A is solvable. In this short note we make a step towards positive solution of this conjecture proving that if A is a minimal finite skew brace with solvable additive group and non-solvable multiplicative group, then the multiplicative group of A is not simple. On the way to obtaining this result, we prove that the conjecture of A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin is correct in the case when the order of A is not divisible by 3.
