During his visit to Kharkiv Oblast, President Volodymyr Zelensky fired Roman Dudin, the head of the Security Service of the oblast.
"I held a meeting with the leadership of the oblast and the city. He thanked them for being and remaining with the people of Kharkiv, with Ukraine and — what is very important now — with each other. They have one hundred percent cooperation: the army, the police, the mayor of Kharkiv, the regional state administration — all really work for victory and do it very effectively.
I arrived. Understood. Fired the local head of the SSU. For not working to defend the city from the first days of a full-scale war, but thinking only of himself personally. What are the motives — law enforcement officers will find out," — said Zelensky in his video address.
