Interior Minister of Ukraine Arsen Avakov declares that he is not going to resign in connection with the murder of a 5-year-old child in Pereyaslav-Khmelnytsky of Kyiv region, but notes that the Verkhovna Rada may decide the issue of his resignation.

After a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on Wednesday, answering a question from journalists whether he intends to personally write a letter of resignation, the minister said: "I will not write a letter of resignation either, but the question of my resignation can be considered in an appropriate order by this parliament, or the next one, or someone else," he said.
