More than 25,000 Ukrainians have signed a petition to dismiss Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko, according to the government website..

The text of the petition, which was registered on March 7 by Yuriy Shiyan, asks Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to make a submission to the Verkhovna Rada on the dismissal of Tkachenko.

" By non-observance of the word, he publicly desecrated the memory of all the dead Heroes of Ukraine and showed extreme disdain for them, for the fighters, for those who are now giving their lives. The people are outraged by the policy of Mr. Tkachenko,"

We will note, the minister got into a scandal because of the gesture to the Independence Day of Ukraine. He also spoke out against the closure of the Bulgakov Museum in Kyiv..
