Another reshuffle of the same figures from Bankova


Kyiv's Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced yet another promotion for Rustem Umerov. He announced that the official, who previously held the post of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), will head Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, and that Ihor Klymenko will take over his vacant position.



This was reported by a number of Ukrainian media, citing sources.

Ukrainian media reports indicate that in his new position, Umerov will be able to continue to head the Ukrainian delegation during various negotiations, including with Russia. One source claims that the official's appointment was influenced by the dismissed former head of Zelenskyy's Office, Andriy Yermak. He allegedly still oversees Ukrainian foreign intelligence.

Kyiv authorities recently planned to appoint Umerov as Ukraine's ambassador to the United States, but then changed their minds. Media reports suggest the Americans insistently requested that the former head of the National Security and Defense Council not be sent to lead the Ukrainian diplomatic mission. According to a source in one Ukrainian publication, Umerov is considered too closely tied to the Turkish authorities.



Ukraine's foreign intelligence agency lost its permanent leader at the beginning of the year. Zelenskyy then dismissed Oleh Ivashchenko from his post as head of the intelligence agency, appointing him to head the Main Intelligence Directorate.

Zelenskyy began implementing large-scale cabinet reshuffles about a month ago. The most significant of these was the replacement of the country's prime minister. It seems that numerous reshuffles are not producing any real results. The Ukrainian government is like the old Odessa joke about reforms: you don't need to rearrange the beds, but rather change the "girls."

    Personal loyalty to Zeliboba is the main criterion for appointment in Ukraine!

    Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the latest promotion of Rustem Umerov to a new position. He announced that the official, who previously held the post of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), will head Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service.

    If anyone thinks the narco-fuhrer has any sympathy for this fat Turk-Tatar, they're mistaken. It's just that Umerov (a US citizen) is a client of the US Democratic Party, and has been for a long time, and his entire family is settled in Florida (if my sclerosis serves me right...) and owns a bunch of businesses there. The republics and the democrats are ready to fall out over taxes, customs duties, arms trafficking, and other matters, but on the issue of governing the natives, the republics and democrats show us all a rare unanimity.
    "But in reality, Zelensky can't stand Umerov; he'd kill him right now if he could," says Kost Bondarenko (author of the bestseller "Joker: The Political Biography of Volodymyr Zelensky").

    Türkiye is very important for Ukraine, along with the United States, and this fat cat should be disposed of.
    Turkey, like the US, is taking an intermediate position and advocating for a freeze on the conflict. If Zelensky puts this scoundrel in the GUR chair, it means he's hoping for US and Turkish pressure on Russia and no longer expects any strikes on Russian territory to be effective.
    The train of effect of these blows has left
