Tsyvinskyi, who until now was the head of the investigative unit of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, won the competition for this position on June 25, 2025. However, the start of his appointment was delayed due to the emergence of issues concerning his responsibility for the criteria of security, including recommendations from the Security Service of Ukraine related to checks on candidates connected with Russia.
The Prime Minister announced the necessity of conducting polygraph testing on September 1, and on September 6, Tsyvinskyi confirmed that he successfully passed the testing. According to the information, the government was supposed to appoint the head of BEB by July 31 within the framework of the Memorandum with the International Monetary Fund regarding economic policy.
