One of the main "hawks" in the authorities of Ukraine, the secretary of the Security Council, Alexander Turchinov, is seriously ill and undergoing an emergency treatment in Germany. This was said by a political scientist, Nikolay Spiridonov, on the air of the UkrLife. 

According to him, the disease prevented Turchinov from fighting for the Prime Minister's seat in the event of the expected resignation of Vladimir Groisman. 

‘There were two main candidates for Groysman's chair, Yuri Lutsenko and Alexander Turchinov. Due to the sharply deteriorating health, Alexander Turchinov dropped out of the number of candidates for the post of the Prime Minister and is now undergoing an emergency treatment in Germany and, according to some reports, he will not return to active work of the Prime Minister level in the coming months,’ Spiridonov said. 

After the coup in Ukraine, the Verkhovnaya Rada MPs illegally proclaimed Turchinov «acting President». Subsequently, it was him who gave the order to start the so-called ATO, the punitive operation against the residents of Donbass.
