“Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Kostin is set to be dismissed and appointed as ambassador to the Netherlands”, – MP says

The current Prosecutor General, Andriy Kostin, is expected to be dismissed and appointed as an ambassador to the Netherlands.

This information was reported by Member of Parliament Oleksiy Honcharenko.

It should be noted that media outlets had written about Kostin’s possible resignation as early as spring. At that time, sources cited his frequent absence from the workplace as the main reason.

Previously, MPs stated that the Prosecutor General spent many days on foreign business trips, the majority of which were to the United States, where his family resides.

Earlier, the media reported that the dismissal of the Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, and Ukraine’s Defense Minister, Rustem Umerov, had been postponed until after the U.S. elections.

According to media sources, more time is needed to decide on suitable candidates for their replacements. In particular, Mykhailo Fedorov, who was considered as a potential replacement for Umerov, is not interested in the position of Defense Minister, and he also has difficulties in his relationship with the General Staff.
