According to the sources of Ukrainska Pravda, Reznichenko has submitted his letter of resignation himself, and as for all other heads, those are dismissals based on the agreement of the parties.

As the UP’s sources said, the President’s Office is planning to appoint Oleksii Kuleba, Head of Kyiv Oblast Military Administration, instead of Tymoshenko. 

Moreover, the sources have stated that the heads of the military administrations of Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts will resign as well. 

The decree on Tymoshenko's dismissal appeared in the morning of January 24.

Background: Valentyn Reznichenko is involved in a criminal case, opened after Ukrainska Pravda and Skhemy’s investigation about his close friend whose company received 1.5 billion hryvnias [approximately US$40.6 million] for repair and maintenance of roads in the oblast.
