By NATALIYA VASILYEVA and EFREM LUKATSKY, Associated Press KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Less than two weeks after Ukraine's new president assumed office, his staff discovered that his predecessor had apparently gutted key computer equipment in a meeting room when he left office. Oleksandr Danylyuk, who was appointed chairman of the National Security and Defense Council on Tuesday, said all the equipment from the situation room, where the head of the state is supposed to be discussing urgent national security matters, is gone. Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigations quickly announced the launch of an inquiry into a misuse of classified data. Danylyuk posted a video on Facebook, showing an empty room with power cables sticking out of the walls and marks where computer monitors used to be. He also claimed that former President Petro Poroshenko's staff had removed servers with confidential information. "This is the situation room at the presidential administration, this is what it looks like now," he said in the video. "Everything was taken away during the handover of power. This is a civilized handover for you."
