After a visit to the President's Office, Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov submitted a resignation letter, the state TV channel "Dom" reports on Tuesday, July 13.
According to his data, the Verkhovna Rada will consider the application on July 15. However, this important personnel issue should be considered in advance at the meeting of the "Servant of the People" faction today. It is expected that President Volodymyr Zelensky will be there
Avakov himself does not comment on the situation. Today it is located in the Rivne region, where large-scale exercises of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took place.
As you know, Avakov has been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs since 2014, when acting Alexander Turchynov was the president.
The Servant of the People party notes that if the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Arsen Avakov, resigns, his place may be taken by the Secretary of the National Security Council, Aleksey Danilov.
However, the secretary of the Security Council is not the only candidate for the post of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Alexander Efimenko, director of the Center for Infrastructure and Technologies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is also considered.
