Zelensky dismisses the head of the cybersecurity department of the Ukrainian Security Service

On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree dismissing the head of the Cybersecurity Department of the Security Service of Ukraine, Ilya Vityuk.

The decree to dismiss Vityuk was published on Wednesday on the website of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, and the decree appointing a new head of the department has not yet been published.

On April 26, Zelensky also dismissed the Commander of the Support Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Yakovets, less than two months after he was appointed to this position.

In  a series of confusion,  Zelensky had previously dismissed the former commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Support Forces, Dmitry Giryga, and on February 8, he dismissed Valery Zalughny from the leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

He also expelled a number of advisors and assistants, including the advisor, Alina Verbitskaya, the Ukrainian President's Commissioner for Guaranteeing the Rights of Defenders of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian President's Commissioner for Voluntary Activities, Natalia Pushkaryova.
