The Commission for the Selection of the Head of the Economic Security Bureau (ESB) has announced its intention to submit a formal letter to the Cabinet of Ministers on Monday, July 14. This letter, which will be signed by Commission Head Laura Stefan, will include supporting documents and clearly state that the candidacy of Oleksandr Tsyvinsky, who was previously selected, will not be subject to further review.
The decision not to review Tsyvinsky’s candidacy has been met with mixed reactions from political figures and analysts. Some have expressed surprise, while others have suggested that the Commission’s decision may reflect broader considerations regarding the implications of Tsyvinsky’s appointment for the ESB’s strategic direction and operational effectiveness.
Commission Head Laura Stefan has not provided detailed reasons for the decision, but sources close to the Commission suggest that the focus will now shift toward finalizing the appointment process and addressing any remaining bureaucratic hurdles. The Cabinet of Ministers is expected to receive the letter and make a final determination on the matter in the coming weeks.
