Volodymyr Stetsenko, the former Chernihiv Oblast prosecutor, may be appointed assistant to Prosecutor General Shokin. According to Myrgorodsky, who himself once worked in the prosecutor's office and is currently a close friend of Stetsenko, the move to the Prosecutor General's Office is a clear promotion for Volodymyr Stetsenko. This was reported by the online publication "Gorod," citing information from Chernihiv Deputy Mayor Mykola Myrgorodsky.
Nikolai Myrgorodsky also discussed the probable reasons for Volodymyr Stetsenko's transfer to the capital. He believes that Volodymyr Stetsenko transferred to Kyiv earlier for family reasons. Although Volodymyr Stetsenko's wife visited her husband in Chernihiv several times, she had no intention of moving there permanently. According to Myrgorodsky, the desire to be closer to his wife and young child, as well as (according to Gorod journalists) more attractive prospects in the Prosecutor General's Office, were the main factors behind Volodymyr Stetsenko's departure from the Chernihiv Oblast Prosecutor's Office.
As a reminder, Volodymyr Stetsenko began his prosecutorial career in the Chernihiv region in 1984, where he worked for over 17 years until 2001. He then held senior positions in the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine, serving as First Deputy Prosecutor of Kyiv City and Prosecutor of the Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Some media outlets report that Volodymyr Stetsenko was pushed into the post of Chernihiv Oblast prosecutor after the Euromaidan by an old friend, a former MP from the BYuT. Valery Dubil.
Dubil was responsible for personnel policy in the Chernihiv region, and at one point, with his approval, the appointments of Serhiy Zhurman, head of the administration, and the deputy mayors of Chernihiv were even made. Rumors also circulated that Dubil attempted to orchestrate personnel changes through Volodymyr Stetsenko. Interestingly, Volodymyr Stetsenko assumed his post in the Chernihiv region after two years of unemployment. At the time, the unemployed prosecutor, according to his income declaration, had a wife and three children dependent on him.
