This was reported by the Espresso TV channel with reference to its video message, as well as a written letter of resignation.

“A few days ago, from the Minister of Culture of Youth and Sports of Ukraine at the Supervisory Board of the Ukrainian Cultural Fund, I received a“ proposal ”to prematurely terminate my authority as chairman of the Supervisory Board. It is clear that this step was initiated by the President’s Office and they obviously did not think about culture in this situation, ”the statement says.

According to Poroshenko, she wants her resignation due to the fact that she is the wife of the former Ukrainian president.

“I have one complaint - my last name. I have been wearing it for more than thirty years and am proud of it. She went down in the history of Ukraine. No one - neither the current president nor the minister of culture - can cross it out, ”she added.

Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian authorities will increase funding for the Ukrainian Cultural Fund.
