The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine appointed Andrii Danyk as the head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

This was reported by the representative of the government in the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian Parliament) Taras Melnychuk.

In September 2023, Danik was appointed first deputy head of the State Emergency Service, and since February 27, 2024, he has been acting as the head of the State Emergency Service. Today he was officially appointed as the head of the service.

Since January 2020, Danyk has been the head of the Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Cherkasy region, and before that he worked as the head of the civil protection department in the Starobeshiv district of the Main Territorial Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the Donetsk region.

Vitaliy Myronyuk became the first deputy head of the State Emergency Service.

• On August 25, 2023, the Cabinet of Ministers dismissed Serhii Kruk from the post of head of the State Emergency Service. This happened after the Pechersk Court of Kyiv chose precautionary measures against the officials of the State Emergency Service in the case of the plane crash in Brovary — then 14 people died, including one child, Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, First Deputy Minister Yevhen Yenin and State Secretary Yurii Lubkovich.
