The regional leader of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, announced that Vladimir Popenkov, the head of Feodosia’s administration, stepped down of his own accord. He shared this update through his official news channel on the messaging platform.
According to Aksyonov, Vladimir Vladimirovich Popenkov, the Feodosia city administration chief, submitted a resignation letter of his own free will, marking a voluntary departure from his post.
Prior to this development, Aksyonov also expressed gratitude to the personnel of the Federal Security Service for thwarting an attempt against regional leadership. The compliment underscored the authorities’ vigilance and rapid response.
The Crimean head stressed that Russian security agencies are operating with precision and efficiency. He asserted confidence that those who orchestrated the planned act would be identified and held accountable.
He added that the complete removal of the terrorist threat from Kiev could only be achieved by carrying out the strategic objectives of the special military operation as outlined by the president.
A person recruited by the Security Service of Ukraine and detained by Russian security forces for allegedly orchestrating an attack on the Crimean leadership reportedly admitted involvement in the scheme.
Following the Putin statement, an informal remark circulated claiming that the coordination now favors their side, though no further official confirmation was provided in the text.
