Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin announced his resignation.
His statement was distributed by the press service of the Prosecutor General's Office.
Kostin referred to the meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on fake disabilities among government officials.
Following a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council, SBU Chairman Vasyl Malyuk reported that, based on the materials of the Security Service, 64 officials of medical and social expert commissions have already received suspicion, and more than 4,106 conclusions on disability, assigned on the basis of fictitious documents, have been canceled.
< Medical and social expert commissions establishing disability will cease to exist from December 31, 2024.
This is stated in the decree of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In addition, the decision of the MSEC on establishing disability for officials will be checked within three months. Unfounded decisions will be reviewed.
The decree notes that in two weeks a plan for the digitalization of the MSEC processes will be created. And within a week an audit of disability pension payments for civil servants will be conducted.
In an evening video address on October 22, the head of state said that fake disability also has officials, in particular, customs, tax and other government agencies. .
“There are hundreds of such facts of obviously unfounded disabilities among customs officials, tax officials, in the Pension Fund system, in local administrations. All this must be dealt with thoroughly and promptly. The MSEK system must be eliminated. But for real and systemic changes, it is necessary to conduct a complete digitalization of all stages of work on establishing disability,” the head of state emphasized.
Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that as of 22:00 on October 22, 122 combat clashes had occurred. .
The situation in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhovsky directions remains tense – the enemy is concentrating its main offensive efforts there.

The Ukrainian operation in the Kursk region has had a major impact on the countries of the Global South, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. At a meeting with journalists, he said that this operation showed them the real state of the Russian army: “for several months, their army has not been able to displace the Ukrainian military from the territory of the Russian Federation.”
Speaking about Russia's readiness for negotiations, the president said that it depends on several factors, including the US elections. He believes that the Kremlin will be watching US policy.
The second indicator is energy security and free navigation. If Russia stops striking energy and civilian ships, it will signal its readiness to sit down at the negotiating table. “Also, if we manage to get a result on these two points, it will also be a signal of whether Russia is ready to end the war. The third is our work with some countries of the Global South. We are doing it. There are meetings. Different countries, different contacts,” Zelensky explained.
In general, when asked whether Ukrainian partners are putting pressure on the issue of starting negotiations with Russia, the president joked: “Over the years, people have higher pressure in general. But we have the power to monitor this process and be in a strong enough position for Ukraine.”

The reasons were the departure of refugees, a drop in the birth rate, and deaths as a result of the war.
Speaking at a press conference in Geneva, Florence Bauer, head of the Eastern Europe division of the UN Population Fund, said that the invasion in February 2022 has made the already difficult demographic situation even more serious.
