President Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Ukraine's military intelligence chief as his new top aide.
Kyrylo Budanov, known for leading daring operations against Russia, will now head the president's office. He replaces Andriy Yermak, who resigned over a corruption scandal.
Budanov will focus on security, defence, and diplomatic efforts. The change comes as Ukraine continues its war against Russia.
The spy chief is credited with expanding Ukraine's military intelligence operations during the conflict.
