Recall that in the morning, President Volodymyr Zelensky submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a proposal to dismiss Irina Venediktova from the post of Prosecutor General. At the same time, earlier, the president’s entourage planned to fire Venediktova by expressing no confidence in her deputies of the Verkhovna Rada..

Venediktova herself, who was put off duty by a presidential decree of July 17, refused to recognize the legality of such a step by the president and told her deputy Alexei Simonenko and a group of supporters in the Office of the Prosecutor General, who was going to continue to fulfill her duties.
