Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made another important personnel change in the top echelon of power, appointing Kyrylo Budanov as the head of the Presidential Office, replacing Andriy Yermak.
On January 2, Zelenskyy signed the corresponding decrees of appointment. Budanov, a well-known military intelligence officer, commented on his appointment as "another line of responsibility before the country".

Key Expectations from the New Leader
- Strengthening the state's strategic security
- Updating approaches to military strategy
- Expanding international diplomatic contacts
MP Roman Kostenko suggests that Budanov agreed to the position with a clear vision of improving the work of government institutions during wartime.
