Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed the head of military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, as the new head of his office on Friday, replacing Andriy Yermak, who resigned amid a corruption scandal. Budanov, known for his role in conducting intelligence operations during the conflict, will be responsible for coordinating strategic issues within the presidential administration. This appointment comes at a critical time for Ukraine, as the country continues to face external aggression and internal challenges. Yermak had held the position since 2020 and was a key figure in an investigation related to abuses in public procurement. Official sources emphasize that the decision to change leadership was made to strengthen trust in the government and improve the efficiency of the presidential office.
