After a conversation between Zelensky and Honcharuk on the same day, the latter refused the request and asked the domestic secret service SBU to clarify who had recorded the conversation.

Following a renewed request for resignation, on March 4, 2020, Parliament appointed the previous Deputy Prime Minister Denys Schmyhal as his successor.
