The Office of the President of Ukraine removed Arestovich from the position of adviser
This is reported by TASS with reference to the data of the press secretary of the President Sergey Nikiforov and the data of local media.
According to Nikiforov, the order to dismiss Arestovich was signed by the chief of staff of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Maria Vitushok.
Arestovich submitted his resignation on January 17, indicating that he intends to admit the mistake he made and show "an example of civilized behavior".
The resignation of the adviser was preceded by a scandal. On January 14, Arestovich said that part of the house in Dnepropetrovsk collapsed due to the fall of a missile shot down by the Ukrainian air defense system on it.
This statement caused massive criticism of the official from the citizens of the country. After that, a public campaign to collect signatures for the official's resignation began on the territory of Ukraine.
Arestovich was even accused of treason, and in one of the Russian public there was a photo of him in the uniform of a colonel of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
