Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismisses head of Kyiv Military Administration Timur Tkachenko

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a decree dismissing Timur Tkachenko from the position of Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing the text of the document.

Details of the personnel decision

The text of the decree contains a direct formulation: "Dismiss Tkachenko Timur Firuddinovych from the position of Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration." This decision came as a surprise to many, considering that Tkachenko had headed the department only recently — since December 31, 2024.

Biography and career of the official

Timur Tkachenko is a native of Kyiv, born on August 18, 1989. His professional path began with obtaining a higher education at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. In 2013, he received a master's degree in economics in the specialty "International Economics," and in 2019 he defended his second higher education — in the specialty "Law".

Career in public service began in 2012, when Tkachenko got a job at the municipal enterprise "Solomanka-Service". Subsequently, he held a number of managerial positions in the structures of the city economy of Kyiv: at KP "Kyivblagoustroystvo" and KP "Pleso".

Alongside work in the municipal sector, Tkachenko advanced up the administrative ladder: he was the head of the apparatus of the Holosiivskyi district state administration, deputy chairman of the Darnytskyi RGA, then — first deputy director and director of the Department of Urban Amenities of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA).

Ministerial level

In 2023, Tkachenko was appointed Deputy Minister for Strategic Industries. In 2024, he moved to the position of Deputy Minister of Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine. It was from this position that he was transferred to the post of Head of the Kyiv City Military Administration — a position he held for less than a month.

Rumors and reaction

As early as May this year, rumors appeared on the network about Tkachenko's possible resignation. The official himself then categorically denied them, calling the reports "commissioned materials". Now, however, the president's decree confirms that personnel changes in Kyiv have indeed taken place — and they have affected one of the key figures in managing the city under martial law.
