The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has again not approved the candidacy of Oleksandr Tsyvinsky for the position of Director of the Bureau of Economic Security, despite the official submission of the competition commission and the support of international partners. The commission stated that it is completing its mandate and sees no grounds for a new competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by “Social”.<\/a><\/p>\n

It is noted that the government did not re-appoint Oleksandr Tsyvinsky as director of the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB). His candidacy was submitted for the second time by the competition commission, which was responsible for transparent selection. This decision of the Cabinet of Ministers caused concern among experts and EU representatives.<\/p>\n

The competition commission announced that it was completing its work, as it had chosen the winner \u2014 and according to Ukrainian law, a second competition is not provided for.<\/p>\n

“Tsivinsky meets all the requirements of the law. A repeated competition contradicts the procedures,” said the head of the commission, Laura Stefan.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the commission confirmed that it had received a letter from the SBU, which contained security warnings due to the Russian citizenship of Tsyvinsky’s father. However, this information was known back in 2023 and did not become an obstacle to the candidate’s admission to state secrets.<\/p>\n

“If the information were critical, Tsyvinsky would have already been revoked from access to the secret,” Stefan explained.<\/p>\n

Since the first submission, which the government rejected on July 7, the commission submitted the same candidacy a second time on July 21. The commission has not received any new communication from the government.<\/p>\n
