Deputy Chairman of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, Ihor Kononenko, attempted to promote former Deputy Head of Ukroboronprom, Serhiy Pinkas, to Deputy Minister of Economy.

As BPP MP Serhiy Leshchenko stated on Facebook, this was the "last straw" before Aivaras Abromavicius's dismissal. He claimed Pinkas was supposed to be the unofficial "supervisor" of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.

Abromavicius himself stated that Pinkas had brought a full package of documents two days earlier and announced that he would be the new deputy minister. According to Pinkas, his candidacy was approved "from above." Later, the minister received a call from the Presidential Administration recommending that Pinkas and another person be hired. Abromavicius, however, refused and asked for his resignation.

In turn, Igor Kononenko stated that he had nothing in common with Pinkas and rejected the accusations.
