Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has named spy chief Kyrylo Budanov as his new chief of staff, just over a month after his previous top aide resigned in a corruption row.
“At this time, Ukraine needs greater focus on security issues,” Zelensky said in a social media post, alongside a photo of his meeting with Gen Budanov in Kyiv.
The 39-year-old has until now led the Hur military intelligence, which has claimed a number of highly effective strikes against Russia.
