The Acting Head of the State Property Fund Olha Batova resigned in July. The Fund has not had a full-fledged head since February – then the Verkhovna Rada dismissed the head of the SPFU, Dmytro Sennychenko. The dismissal took place on the second attempt - in January, there were not enough votes for this due to the deputies' buttons not working.
