This is reported by Ukrainian Pravda, citing its own sources.

According to UП, Alexey Berezhny's contract with NAIS is set to expire on December 25 of this year, and the company has not received any proposal for its extension.

As a reminder, on December 20, the largest external cyberattack on Ukrainian state registries took place recently, temporarily halting the operation of the registries under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.

Justice Minister Olga Stefanishina stated that the attack was carried out by Russians to disrupt the functioning of critical infrastructure. Preliminary reports indicate that only state registries were affected by the attack.

Former Justice Minister Dmitry Malyuska noted that most of the information from the state registries targeted by Russian hackers was already publicly accessible. However, the attackers succeeded in destroying the State Registry of Civil Status Acts, which is one of the most secure registries.
