For the first vice-speaker of the State Duma of Lyubov Slisky, the resignation of the prosecutor general Vladimir Ustinov was unexpected. “The reason for Ustinov’s resignation is unknown to me,” Sliska said in an interview with RIA Novosti. She recalled that in April last year, Ustinov’s candidacy was again approved by the Federation Council for the next 5 years. Therefore, he considers Slisk, there were no complaints about his work. “If he (Ustinov) has submitted a personal statement of resignation, the reasons should be serious enough so that the president could accept such a resignation,” she believes. At the same time, Sliska did not exclude that Ustinov’s decision to resign to some extent is connected with corruption in law enforcement agencies, about which the prosecutor general repeatedly stated.
