The Ukrainian Parliament has reaffirmed its support for Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko, dismissing any discussions regarding his replacement. This statement comes from David Arahamiya, the head of the ruling Servant of the People party, following a recent shooting incident in Kyiv.
Arahamiya criticized certain lawmakers for attempting to politicize the tragic event in the Holosiivskyi district, calling their actions baseless. He emphasized that the leadership of the patrol police has resigned, and those responsible are facing judicial proceedings, asserting that accountability is being upheld.
According to Arahamiya, the Ministry of Internal Affairs responded swiftly to the situation, implementing necessary internal procedures and drawing conclusions from the incident. He stated, “As of now, the issue of changing the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not under consideration by the Parliament.”
Following the mass shooting in Kyiv, a motion for the resignation of the Interior Minister was registered in the Parliament, reflecting the heightened scrutiny on law enforcement’s response.
