Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka gave his first television interview since his appointment as Prosecutor General of Ukraine on Nov. 4.
Speaking on the pro-Presidential Inter TV channel, Pshkonka said his appointment and the promotion of Renat Kuzmin and Mikhail Havrilyuk to first deputy and deputy, repesecitively, would give "a new impulse" to the prosecutor’s office.
Pshkonka said there would be personnel changes at various levels of the government agency, including the prosecutor’s head office in Kyiv.
"High moral standards and ethical behavior, professionalism and the ability to take responsibility and fulfill the tasks of the prosecutor’s office remain the key qualities [for prosecutors]," Pshkonka said, adding that as a member of President Viktor Yanukovych’s team, he will work closely with the chiefs of other law-enforcement agencies.
"The president is an objective man. His slogan: ‘Everyone is equal before the law,’" Pshonka said.
