I view the role of the head of the Office of the President as another front of responsibility for the country. It is an honor and a responsibility for me to focus on critical issues of our state\u2019s strategic security at a historical moment for Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Zelenskyy emphasized that in the current period, strategic security, the development of defense forces, and the management of the diplomatic process in negotiations are priorities.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Stating that the Office of the President will primarily deal with the implementation of these tasks, the Ukrainian leader said, \u201cKyrylo has specific experience in the specified directions and sufficient strength to achieve results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The Office of the President was previously managed by Andriy Yermak. Yermak resigned on November 28 in the shadow of a corruption scandal and searches conducted at his home.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Zelenskyy instructed the new office head, Budanov, to update and submit for approval the principles of Ukraine\u2019s defense and development strategy.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Budanov will carry out this process in coordination with Rustem Umerov, the Head of the National Security and Defense Council, and the heads of other relevant institutions.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>From intelligence to state administration: Budanov\u2019s profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The 40-year-old Kyrylo Budanov, who took over the leadership of Ukrainian military intelligence in 2020 and served in the agency for 13 years, holds the rank of lieutenant general.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Oleg Ivashchenko, the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, will be appointed to replace Budanov as the head of the GUR. Budanov has been involved in the conflicts in Donbas since 2014 and has been wounded several times.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Political scientist Vladimir Pastukhov described Budanov&#8217;s appointment as a \u201csymbolic\u201d political decision.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Stating that the decision ended a long period of uncertainty, Pastukhov evaluated: \u201cThis appointment clearly signals that the Ukrainian administration does not believe in any \u2018peace\u2019 scenario and is preparing for a \u2018tooth-for-a-tooth war.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Pastukhov emphasized that Budanov represents the segment that views any agreement made on Putin\u2019s terms as Ukraine\u2019s surrender.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The expert also argued that this step is the first move of the election campaign, commenting: \u201cBudanov and Zelenskyy are the two most important figures in Ukraine\u2019s potential \u2018transition of power.\u2019 While the West is seen to be playing for [former Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valeriy] Zaluzhnyi, Zelenskyy played for Budanov with an opposite move, and this situation says a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>\u2018Digital\u2019 era in the Ministry of Defense: Fedorov proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Volodymyr Zelenskyy <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/V_Zelenskiy_official\/17530\">proposed<\/a><\/span> Mykhailo Fedorov, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, for the seat of the Ministry of Defense. If the Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada) approves the candidacy, Fedorov will replace Denys Shmyhal, who has been serving as the Minister of Defense since July 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Justifying his choice, Zelenskyy emphasized that Fedorov is \u201cdeeply involved in drone line issues\u201d and \u201cworks in a very result-oriented manner in the field of digitalization of public services and processes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Zelenskyy stated that Fedorov, together with soldiers, domestic weapon manufacturers, and Ukraine\u2019s partners, could implement the necessary changes in the army and bring technological competence to the military.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">In the event of his appointment, the 34-year-old politician will be Ukraine\u2019s fourth and the country&#8217;s youngest defense minister since the start of Russia\u2019s military intervention.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Zelenskyy noted that the Ministry of Defense gave good results last year, specifically that as of December, interceptor drone production exceeded one thousand units per day.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>Denys Shmyhal being moved to the Ministry of Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Zelenskyy announced that Denys Shmyhal, who is expected to hand over his post, will \u201cstay on the team\u201d and has been offered to \u201cmanage another direction in state administration.\u201d In this context, Zelenskyy proposed the appointment of Shmyhal as the Minister of Energy.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>SBU Head Malyuk targeted: Is the architect of \u2018Spider Web\u2019 leaving?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The wave of duty changes occurring in Ukraine also covers the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the country&#8217;s key counter-intelligence agency.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">According to <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.ua\/ukr\/news\/zelenskiy-mozhe-zvilniti-golovu-sbu-vasilya-1767387100.html\">sources<\/a><\/span> from Politico and RBC-Ukraine, Zelenskyy plans to dismiss the 42-year-old SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">One source warned: \u201cThere are attempts to dismiss Malyuk, but nothing is finalized yet. Negotiations are ongoing. However, his departure from the SBU would seriously weaken Ukraine\u2019s self-defense capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">A possible dismissal decision must be approved by the Rada.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">At a meeting with journalists, Zelenskyy referred to changes in military institutions, indirectly confirming the change by saying, \u201cI appreciate everyone, but I will carry out the rotations I have decided on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\"><strong>The name of strategic operations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Malyuk, who has led the SBU since 2023, is known for managing high-profile assassinations and daring special operations inside Russia.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Among these, the \u201cSpider Web\u201d operation, carried out in 2025, stands out, in which Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles taking off from trucks hit strategic bombers at Russia\u2019s protected airfields.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Malyuk\u2019s name is also associated with \u201ckinetic sanctions\u201d against Russia\u2019s \u201cshadow\u201d fleet and oil industry facilities.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">A Ukrainian official evaluated: \u201cMalyuk is the right name for the position, and the performance results of the security service prove this. It is he who transformed the SBU into an effective intelligence agency that carries out unique special operations and gives Ukraine strong cards at the negotiating table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">According to Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of parliament from the Holos party, Zelenskyy wants to see Malyuk in a new role.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Sources <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/zelenskyy-plans-remove-another-top-spy-sbu-malyuk-state-reshuffle\/\">speaking<\/a><\/span> to Politico reported that the President offered Malyuk the leadership of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (SVRU), previously managed by Oleg Ivashchenko, or a position in the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, headed by Rustem Umerov.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has offered Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense (GUR), the position of Head of the Office of the President.
