Acting Odesa Mayor Ihor Koval appointed Yuriy Kushchenko to head the Peresypskyi District Administration of Odesa on December 4.

Earlier, Ihor Koval dismissed Serhiy Kondratyuk from his position as head of the Peresypskyi District Administration of Odesa. His position was handed over to his first deputy, Svyatoslav Glazanovsky. Serhiy Kondratyuk had been appointed to the post in July 2018. At the end of August, employees of the Department of Strategic Investigations informed him that the head of the district administration was suspected of abuse of office. In September 2022, prosecutors from the Suvorov District Prosecutor’s Office in Odesa filed an indictment with the court against the head of one of Odesa’s district administrations for abuse of office.
