President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has still not decided who will become the new head of his Office. Among the candidates are First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Kyrylo Budanov, Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal, First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Serhiy Kyslytsia.

Literally from the material: “Until the last days the main candidate the first vice-premier Fedorov was appointed to this position. But his radical views on personnel purges in the OP and too long “list of reforms” made the president hesitate. Therefore, Zelenskyi continues to conduct interviews with potential candidates for the post of head of the OP.”

Details: The main competitors of Fedorov in the government offices are most often called the head of the GUR Budanov and the ex-prime minister and current minister of defense Shmyhal.

But the last option is unlikely. Shmyhal not so long ago headed the MOU and just started to organize the chaos at work. In addition, changing the Minister of Defense while preparing for arms contracting for 2026 is clearly not a good idea.

Verbatim from the article: “It is possible that, choosing between the two, Zelenskyi will choose the third option. At least the first deputy minister of foreign affairs and a member of the Ukrainian negotiating team with the United States, Serhiy Kyslytsyu. Zelenskyi will most likely announce the final decision this week. Moreover, there is no need to hurry, because if Yermak’s successor is from the cohort of current ministers, the people’s deputies will have to vote for his dismissal.”

Details: According to the interlocutors of the UP in the Verkhovna Rada, the next plenary week of December 16-19 will begin with personnel rotations.

Prehistory:

• On the morning of November 28, “Ukrainian Pravda” reported that detectives were in the government quarter NABU and SAP prosecutors conducted searches At that time, Andrii Yermak was still the head of the OP.
• Later, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi announced that released Yermak from his position.
• According to interlocutors of the UP in the president’s team, the ex-head of the OP did not believe in his resignation until the last. When asked to write a resignation letter, gave Zelensky a tantrum with reproaches and accusations.
