After a series of high-profile resignations in state structures, in particular, layoffs in the leadership of the State Customs Service and the Ministry of Defense, the same "big purge" will take place in the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Tax Service, and the National Police.

This was stated by Oleksiy Danilova, Secretary of the NSDC, during the telethon.

"As for the decisions of the National Security Council announced by the president. If someone thinks that this was a one-time action related to customs and other authorities, then they are mistaken..." he said.

According to Danilov, the law enforcement agencies will get rid of those who consider it normal to "take bribes and interfere with business operations."

"And this applies to all the bodies involved in this - SBU, tax officials, customs officers, police and the rest. All bodies will be clean of those people who stain our country," Danilov stressed.

We will remind, on January 24, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikova Vyacheslav Shapovalov resigned after the scandal involving the purchase of products for the Armed Forces.

In addition, on February 1, the Cabinet of Ministers dismissed the head of the State Customs Service and his deputies.
