💨 Abstract

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has offered the role of presidential chief of staff to Kyrylo Budanov, the military intelligence chief. This move follows the resignation of Andriy Yermak amid a corruption scandal. Zelenskiy aims to prioritize security and defense, areas where Budanov has extensive experience. Budanov, who has been decorated as a "Hero of Ukraine," has been involved in prisoner exchanges and special operations since Russia's invasion.
