There is no single opinion about a candidate for the post of the head of the Security Service of Ukraine among the country's politicians, according to sources of Interfax-Ukraine.
In a particular, the agency’s interlocutors suggested appointment of incumbent first deputy head of the SBU Volodymyr Rokytsky to this post.
Others do not rule out appointment of Deputy Prosecutor General Renat Kuzmin to this post.
Another candidate for the post of the SBU chief may be head of the SBU branch in Luhansk region Oleksandr Tretyakov. The agency’s interlocutors didn’t rule out that the Security Service may be lead by a chief of the SBU branch from another region.
As reported, on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych signed a decree dismissing Valeriy Khoroshkovsky as head of the SBU. The president appointed Khoroshkovsky to the post of Finance Minister of Ukraine.
According to Ukrainian legislation, the SBU head is nominated by the president and approved by the Verkhovna Rada.
