Layoffs in the Cabinet
Sources “Telegraph»announced four important changes in the Cabinet of Ministers at once
Minister of Energy German Galushchenko will soon lose his post. Also, with a high degree of probability, the dismissal awaits the Deputy Head of the Office of the President Kirill Timoshenkoaboutwho is responsible for regional policy at Bankovaya and oversees the Great Construction project.
Telegraph reports this with reference to its sources in the corridors of power. According to the interlocutors, a meeting on personnel issues with the participation of President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected on Thursday evening.
It is possible that another deputy Yermak, the curator of the power block, will be asked to “exit” Oleg Tatarovto which there are questions not only in Ukraine because of the corruption case of Ukrbud and housing for the National Guard, but also in the United States for his false statements on the Revolution of Dignity, close ties with the sanctioned Andriy Portnov, anti-Western rhetoric and attacks on anti-corruption infrastructure.
If Tymoshenko hitherto was a conditional counterbalance to Yermak, then Tatarov was deputy for the formation of state policy in the field of law enforcement, expert and analytical support for the work of the OPU, and he himself had to counteract corruption.
“Dismissal of Minister Galushchenko – the issue is practically resolved“, the interlocutors say. There are a lot of questions about the work of his department. Another candidate for dismissal is Minister of Education and Science Sergei Shkarlet.
Layoffs in the Cabinet
“Some rearrangements have been brewing for a long time, and the issue may be resolved in the coming days, – says the source of the publication. – But if, upon dismissal of Galushchenko, the Rada can vote positively, then there is no such confidence regarding the fate of Shkarlet, because there is no one to replace him yet“.
Recall that each of the candidates for dismissal is followed by a train of scandals.
Tymoshenko was already accused of love for ostentatious luxury during the great war, the official was several times seen driving an undeclared 2021 Porsche Taycan, and besides, he turned out to have a large country house, which, however, is officially on lease.
Rumors about a possible resignation in the Tymoshenko team are commented succinctly: “Everything is in normal mode.”
In addition, sources reported the possibility of the resignation of the heads of the Sumy, Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk regional military administrations, which are guided by Kyrylo Tymoshenko. Do not exclude the resignation of the head of Chernihiv.
Tatarova suspected in involvement in the falsification of the examination in the case of the former people’s deputy and developer Maxim Mikitas.
The disgraced MP Geo Leros called the head of the Ministry of Energy Galushchenko a corrupt official who caused damage to the state in the amount of UAH 2.4 billion. They also talked about Galushchenko’s connections with Russian agent Andriy Derkach, who was deprived of Ukrainian citizenship and the mandate of the Verkhovna Rada on suspicion of treason.
The US federal court charged Derkach with a number of financial crimes. Another scandal in which Galushchenko appeared is related to the quarterly bonuses allegedly unlawfully accrued to him and another vice-president of Energoatom, Hartmut Jakob.
Appointment of the Minister of Education Scarleta in the Rada was also accompanied by scandals – plagiarism was noticed in many of his scientific works, there were also questions about his connections with the Party of Regions. During the leadership of the Ministry of Education, there were also several scandals with the participation of Shkarlet. The ministry planned to reorganize the directorates created with the help of the European Union. Ukraine received a warning from the EU about a possible curtailment of funding for education reform by the Union. After that, Shkarlet was forced to explain his position after the EU and to assure that the course of reforms was unchanged.
