As the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk reports in his Facebook post: the Verkhovna Rada received a statement from Oleksandr Tkachenko about his dismissal from the post of Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine on his own initiative. the application will be considered at the next plenary meeting.
Alexander Tkachenko, who has been the Minister of Culture since 2020, is known for his resonance in society, in particular for his provocative speeches, as well as scandalous decisions as a minister. in particular, he is known for his attempt to resign back in November 2021, arguing that he was unwilling to cooperate with the Cabinet of Ministers on the issue of transferring the State Cinematography from the competence of the Ministry of Culture to the management of the Cabinet of Ministers, which he called illogical.
But most of all, Tkachenko's reign was remembered for its ambitious projects, in which the public saw an inappropriate waste of funds. we are talking, for example, about the construction of the National Museum of the Holodomor-genocide of the Ukrainian people at a cost of 573.9 million hryvnias.
It was previously known that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in his address proposed to Prime Minister Denys Shmihal to remove Oleksandr Tkachenko from the post of Minister of Culture. after that, the minister himself commented on his possible resignation, saying that he himself voluntarily asked to be removed from office and was very surprised that the president had asked the prime minister.
