#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . President Volodymyr Zelensky has offered Kyrylo Budanov, the military intelligence chief, to take charge of the President’s Office on Jan. 2.

“Now, Ukraine needs more focus on security issues, the development of the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine, as well as on the diplomatic track in negotiations, and the President’s Office will serve primarily to fulfill such tasks,” Zelensky said.

This move follows a major reshuffle that saw the dismissal of Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s long-time chief of staff, in late November. The change occurred amid Ukraine’s largest corruption scandal, signaling a shift in leadership dynamics.

Lieutenant General Budanov, 39, has led Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) since 2020. Under his leadership, HUR has evolved into a formidable force during Russia’s full-scale invasion.

A source in the President’s Office told the Kyiv Independent that the president’s final choice would signal whether his focus lies on domestic affairs, diplomacy, or the battlefield.
