Early April 2019 Gordieiev filed a resignation letter but did not specify the reasons why.[5] The previous months activists had demanded from President Petro Poroshenko to dismiss Gordieiev because they considered him complicit in organizing the assassination of Kherson activist Kateryna Handziuk.[5][8] According to Gordieiev he resigned prior to the second round of the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election so that the allegations "fabricated against him" should not affect the second round of the election.[8] (President Poroshenko had won second place in the first round of the presidential election.[9]) On 10 April the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the dismissal.[2]
