🏛🇰🇷The former head of Kirovohrad Regional State Administration during Yanukovych's presidency, Nikolaienko, is being proposed as ambassador to South Korea — the prosecution is appealing an acquittal in the fatal car crash case
📨👤According to media reports, Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha submitted the nomination of current Batkivshchyna MP Andriy Nikolaienko to the president for the post of ambassador to South Korea. There is no appointment decree yet. Nikolaienko headed the Kirovohrad RSA under Yanukovych, was a member of the Party of Regions, and in 2025 voted for limiting the independence of NABU and SAP.
🚗⚖️In April, the court acquitted Nikolaienko in the car crash case in which a 18-year-old girl died, but the prosecution has appealed the verdict; earlier the State Bureau of Investigations recorded 22 fines for him for speeding over two years. At the same time, he worked as a diplomat in Seoul, studied at the Korean Yonsei University, and leads the parliamentary friendship group with South Korea.
