Valery Chernyakov, who headed the State Forestry Agency since March of this year, has resigned.
According to the agency, he explained his decision by citing his party's defeat in the snap parliamentary elections. "The reason I'm submitting my resignation is the absence of representatives from the All-Ukrainian Union 'Svoboda' in the ruling majority. Following the snap parliamentary elections, a new government was formed, and I'm giving the new head of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food the opportunity to independently form a new team and implement his vision for reforming the sector," Chernyakov stated.
Chernyakov's entire career has been tied to forestry and the Svoboda All-Ukrainian Union. He began his career in 1986 at the Dnieper-Teteriv State Reserve Forestry and Hunting Grounds as a ranger in the Sukholuch Special Forestry Department.
From 1988 to 1991 he worked as a forester at the Turiysk inter-collective farm forestry enterprise.
From 1991 to 2001 he was an instructor at the Volyn Association of Eastern Martial Arts.
From 2003 to 2004 he worked at the Turiysky State Forestry Enterprise.
Chernyakov was elected to the Rada on the Svoboda list in 2012. After the change of power, he was appointed Chairman of the State Forestry Agency of Ukraine.
