@Ehlla, StarDeg, PhilKnight, and Буквы: An IP editor has repeatedly (here, here, here, and here) deleted summary material in the WP:LEAD of what is a major part of the sourced material we have in this article, describing Kostin's candidature for head of SAPO and Ukrainian civil society organisations' concern about his candidature. If someone has a good reason for excluding that summary from the lead, then please explain why. Otherwise, I suggest that someone restore the deleted material.

So far no reasons for excluding the material have been given and the IP user has been blocked. I've restored the material and restructured the lead for more consistency and less redundancy. Boud (talk) 13:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

If someone has a source saying that to avoid conflicts of interest, Kostin's parliamentary position has been suspended so that he's no longer a member of parliament [this happens in some countries, e.g. in France when a member of parliament becomes a minister, his/her « suppléant » (complementary-person) takes over the member of parliament position, until e.g. the minister resigns and recovers the member of parliament position], then please add that info with the source.
