As the publication writes, attempts to release Budanov may intensify in December. According to the interlocutor of the editorial office, the head of OP Andriy Yermak and the deputy head of the SBU, Oleksandr Poklad, are lobbying for this process the most. It is the latter that they want to appoint to the post of head of the State Government, added the representative of the security and defense sector.

Meanwhile, NV’s source at Bankova noted that some public steps and statements of the head of the State Administration of Ukraine harmed Ukraine. In particular, we are talking about special operations in Africa, statements about “coffee in Crimea” or defense purchases in other countries.

“There is an objective reality and objective wrong decisions. Do we need to be held accountable for this? The president will decide,” said this interlocutor of the publication.

The publication did not receive an official response to the OP.

The press service of the SBU in the NV comment denied the information about the plans to appoint Poklad as the head of the GUR. It was noted there that “information leaks about the deputy head of the SBU appear systematically once a month and have a similar style.” As the SBU added, the subject matter of such IPSO is quite broad: from various conspiracy theories, “sensations” regarding the situation at the front to alleged personnel reshuffles and conflicts among the leaders of the Security and Defense Forces, etc.

At the same time, the special service assured that such rumors have no basis.
