The Cabinet of Ministers has assigned the duties of the chairman of the State Service for Medicines and Drug Control to the deputy chairman of the service, Vladimir Korolenko.
The government adopted the relevant order on December 24 in connection with the removal of the head of the State Service, Roman Isaenko, from his duties.
Korolenko will perform the duties of the head of the service during Isaenko’s removal.
As reported, on December 24, the Cabinet of Ministers initiated disciplinary proceedings against Dmitry Isaenko. The Commission on Senior Civil Service Issues must carry out the relevant disciplinary proceedings by January 27, 2026.
In November, NABU conducted searches at the State Service’s main office, in particular, in Isaenko’s office. In February 2025, he became a subject of the Bihus.Info investigation. Journalists found out that people from Isaenko’s circle and the SBU’s curator of this area had created a private laboratory called Dobrobut-Likilab, which almost immediately after registration began receiving orders to test medicines from the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control.
Isaenko has headed the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control since 2018, first as acting chairman, and in early 2019, he won the competition for the position of head of the agency.
