The Cabinet of Ministers dismissed Deputy Finance Ministers Yuri Butsu and Sergei Marchenko.

The respective decision was taken during the government meeting on Thursday, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

"Butza and Marchenko were dismissed", Vice Prime Minister Pavel Rozenko told the agency after the meeting.

By another decision, the Cabinet of Ministers appointed Butza as the government commissioner for public debt management.

It was previously reported that Butza and Marchenko resigned from their posts after the decision of the Verkhovna Rada to dismiss Minister of Finance Alexander Danilyuk.

Butza was appointed as Deputy Minister for European Integration in early May 2016, and before that, he was a member of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission. In the Ministry of Finance, he oversees the debt policy, cooperation with international organizations and management of European integration.

Marchenko was appointed as the deputy minister in late May 2016. He is the expert in fiscal decentralization, budgetary processes and tax policy.

He is also responsible for such departments, as the industry finance, defense and law enforcement, humanitarian budget expenditures, as well as state regulation in issuing and conducting lotteries.

It should be reminded that in 2010-2015, Danilyuk was the head of the Coordinating Center for Introducing Economic Reforms under Presidential Administration, while his deputies Yuri Butsa, Sergei Marchenko and State Secretary of the Ministry of Finance Yevgeny Kapinus were employees of the center.

As reported, on June 7, the petition of Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman on dismissing Danilyuk from his post was supported by 254 people's deputies.

Danilyuk’s first deputy Oksana Markarova became the acting Minister of Finance.
