As many as 248 parliamentarians supported the decision to sack Nalivaychenko.

Nalivaychenko became the head of the Ukrainian Security Service last February. He also headed the service in 2006-2010.

Nalivaychenko was questioned by the country's prosecutors after he accused Deputy Attorney General Anatoly Danylenko of covering an oil depot fire near Kiev. The Ukrainian media branded the situation a confrontation between the country's general prosecutor's office and the security services.
