Former Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova is expected to be appointed on the diplomatic front.

This was announced by the head of the parliamentary faction "Servant of the People," David Arakhamia, on the telethon air.

"We are waiting for her new assignment on the diplomatic front in a few days or maybe a week. Her experience will serve the state in a new place, which needs to be strengthened by professional managers and lawyers," he noted.

According to him, the ex-prosecutor remains in the "Servant of the People" team.

"We are waiting for news about personnel appointments on the diplomatic front, and thank you for your work."

MP Oleksiy Goncharenko wrote that Venediktovaʼs candidacy is being considered for the role of ambassador of Ukraine to Switzerland.

  • On July 19, the Verkhovna Rada voted to dismiss Iryna Venediktova from the post of Prosecutor General.
  • On the evening of July 17, two presidential decrees were issued — on the removal of Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova and the removal of SBU head Ivan Bakanov from his duties. For the time being, the duties of the Prosecutor General will be performed by Venediktovaʼs deputy Oleksii Symonenko, and Vasyl Malyuk, the head of the SBU, will be the first deputy.
