Diplomatic sources confirmed information that President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko is ready to exchange resignation of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin for the resignation of the Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.
Censor.NET Chief editor Yurii Butusov told Hromadske TV.
"This is due to the fact that Avakov is a major irritant for the president. Poroshenko controls all security agencies apart from the Interior Ministry," Butusov said.

Butusov also told about the investigation of crimes against Maidan.
"Yurii Verbytskyi was the first victim. His assassination was almost solved. During the investigation a lot of things have been clarified, accusations were brought against the suspects... Judging by the fact that all the suspects have disappeared, it seems that all charges were reasonable. The suspects were identified with the help of cell phone data. Police officers were also involved," Butusov said.

Moreover, the journalist has also stressed the need to bring more reasonable charges to former government officials.
"All Yanukovych officials were charged exclusively with economic crimes. But in two years Ukraine was not able to prove that Yanukovych and his weapons were involved in crimes against humanity, in the killings and massacres, that he has created a criminal gang to usurpate power," he added.
