The night of cynical banderas
After the defeat of Kolomoisky in the intra-oligarchical feud became obvious, Poroshenko didn't waste any time to launch the processes of further centralization of power. The "special operation" was announced following the fact of the murder of the SBU employee by Kolomoisky's bandits. Also, the EMERCOM minister was arrested right during the session of the cabinet of ministers on the charges of participation in the criminal schemes for fuel purchases.

Apparently, Bochkovsky was associated with Kolomoisky schemes for purchasing fuel and reselling it for higher prices for the ATO needs, when at the start of the war Kolomoisky made several tens of millions of dollars out of air. The topic of dealers associated with Kolomoisky was actively discussed in the junta media, which engaged in war profiteering, and so today, on the wave of Kolomoisky's defeat, they immediately started to catch such a big fish as ministers involved in this "business". These, however, are likely to be trivia.
The change of the role of the SBU due to the recent events is much more symptomatic.

PS. In essence, after helping Poroshenko in the business of deposing Kolomoisky, the SBU will attain greater functions on its major directions and will be fully transformed into a political police, delegating some of its prior responsibilities to other services. The main direction will be the struggle against the "enemies of Reich", "separatists", "FSB agents". Naturally, all of this will be densely integrated into the system of the American special services deployed in the Ukraine, whose agent is Nalivaychenko. He is actually a much better fit for the role of the grey cardinal of Ukraine than Kolomoisky. The time of brownshirts is ending. After the current lite-version of the night of the long knives will be over, the brownshirts will be replaced by a local version of Gestapo. On the example of the ultimative demands of the SBU of disarming all armed units that don't report to the central authority one can clearly see how this structure, which is fully controlled by the Americans, grabs more and more power, where the various "Donbasses" and "Azovs" are pretty much not needed any longer. The Security Service of Ukraine, which was destroyed in 2014, is now successfully transformed and is operational in every region of the Ukraine. And so the punitive ersatz units are no longer needed, actually they are harmful. So we see this velvet coup of sorts, when the "era of punitive battalions" is replaced by the era of systemic state terror, which can have only a single master. This is why Nalivaychenko openly entered the stage lately, there is no longer a need to hide the obvious and the time of self-made czars like Kolomoisky is ending right before our eyes.
Apparently, the preparation for a purge started already during the period of the resignation of the former prosecutor general Yarema, who was replaced by Shokin. After this the political persecution of the former regionals (Yefremov's arrest) sharply activated and the Ukraine was covered by a wave of the "political suicides". So there is nothing surprising that the reconfiguration of the political playground of the Ukraine is performed by the hand of the Nalivaychenko-Avakov-Shokin trio, who provide the security foundation for solidifying Poroshenko's power.
It is also worth noting that, on the background of the ongoing redrawing of the political field of the Ukraine and the deposition of Kolomoisky, the intensity of military action reduced somewhat. Most likely, the ongoing transformation may somewhat delay the start of the active phase of the military action, which I personally expect in April of this year, just like I used to.
UPD: And yes, the murderers of the SBU employee at Volnovakha were called the "cynical banderas"
