Zelenskiy invited Budanov to the Head of the Presidential Office

It has been reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has invited Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine, as a new candidate for the position of Head of the Presidential Office. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to information, this position was held by Andriy Yermak until November 2025. However, he resigned due to corruption scandals surrounding the "Energoatom" company.

His appointment as Head of the Presidential Office is expected to be one of the significant events in Ukrainian politics. This change may serve to introduce new approaches and increase efficiency in the state governance system.

For this reason, Budanov's candidacy is being closely monitored by many political observers.
