During a meeting with the parliamentary coalition on Monday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that he has been unsatisfied with the work of Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko for the past year, Petro Poroshenko Bloc MP Mustafa Nayem has said.

Nayem said that Nalyvaichenko has agreed to head the External Intelligence Service of Ukraine.

"We listened to the president, who said that within a year Nalyvaichenko didn't fulfill the tasks set by the president. They had a conversation over this issue, after which Mr. Nalyvaichenko agreed to head External Intelligence Service," Nayem told journalists in the lobby of the Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday.

However, Nayem said it is too early to speak about Nalyvaichenko's resignation as there has been no call for it yet.

"We will consider it after it is introduced," Nayem said.
