President Volodymyr Zelenskyi had previously asked Hrynchuk and Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko to resign. "I ask the members of parliament to support these requests," said the head of state in a video message. It was a question of trust.
Halushchenko had already been relieved of his duties by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko in the morning.
Ukraine is being rocked by a multi-million euro bribery scandal. It allegedly involved payments not only in the energy sector, but also in the defense sector, which is important for the country's defense.
