The government temporarily assigned the duties of the head of the State Service for Emergency Situations to Andrii Danyk.
This was reported by the representative of the Cabinet of Ministers in the Verkhovna Rada Taras Melnychuk.
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.
From September 8, 2023, Danik was appointed 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 preventive 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 Yevheniy Yenin and State Secretary Yuriy Lubkovich.
