People's Deputy Denis Maslov refused to take the post of head of the Ministry of Justice in the new government. Now the main candidate for this position is the head of the Kharkov OVA Oleg Sinegubov, a source told ZN. U.A..

At the beginning of the year, Ekonomicheskaya Pravda journalists interviewed the then Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction Alexei Kuleba, who also served as head of the Ministry of Community Development. Before the recording, Sinegubov was noticed in the hall of the ministry with a black bag in his hands. Subsequently, he was noticed again when he left Kuleba’s office, but without the package. In response to an official request from Suspilny, Sinegubov refused to explain what was in the package and who it was intended for..

“The Kharkov Regional Military Administration does not have and is not obliged, in accordance with its competence, to have the information requested in your request, in the understanding of the Law, therefore we refuse to satisfy your request,” the response said.

In April 2023, NABU conducted searches in the Kharkiv police department, although no one was served with suspicions at that time. Sinegubov confirmed that investigative actions were carried out in several structural divisions of the administration, the leadership of the apparatus and one of his deputies.

There were complaints about the work of the Kharkov OVA from the Security Service of Ukraine. But this was at a time when the SBU was headed by Vasily Malyuk.

According to ZN. UA, Sinegubov’s candidacy was supported by David Arakhamia and Oleg Tatarov. It can also be assumed that oligarch Igor Abramovich, who is now in Monaco, will also be happy if Sinegubov is appointed Minister of Justice.

Earlier it was reported that the Verkhovna Rada on July 16 plans to elect a new prime minister instead of Yulia Sviridenko and, accordingly, the composition of the government. They plan to vote for everyone in a “package”.
