This was reported by the Kyiv publication “Civil Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine”.
According to the publication, Petro Poroshenko is dissatisfied with the current minister Arsen Avakov (an ally of Yatsenyuk), who would like to have “his own”, “devoted” security official in this post. In addition, the majority of parliamentarians also have a grudge against Avakov, reproaching the minister for the lack of reforms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and having many other complaints about his work.
According to the publication, the Poroshenko administration is also dissatisfied with the fact that Arsen Avakov controls the volunteer battalions, which with his help received weapons and now pose a threat to the presidential vertical.
According to the publication, Arsen Avakov is now on vacation and there are reasonable rumors about his imminent resignation. The resignation itself is allegedly planned for the end of September - beginning of October.
“The stagnant candidates for the vacant positions are already clattering their hooves in the stall, have entered into a behind-the-scenes fight and have begun a mouse race for the position,” the publication notes.
One of the most likely replacements for Avakov, according to sources of the “Civil Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine,” is the former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Valeriy Geletey, who is personally devoted to Poroshenko.
