Zelenskyy reshuffles security leadership, but Fedorov stays sidelined
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed one of Kyiv's key peace-negotiation figures as the new head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, continuing a broader shake-up of the country's military and security leadership. Former minister Mykhailo Fedorov remains outside the new lineup.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy named one of Kyiv's key peace-deal negotiators as the new head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, the latest move in an ongoing reshuffle of the country's military and security leadership. The appointment follows weeks of changes across senior defense and intelligence posts.
Despite the broader shake-up, former minister Mykhailo Fedorov remains outside the new leadership lineup, a decision that has drawn attention amid speculation about the political dynamics shaping the appointments. Officials have not detailed why he was excluded from the latest round of changes.
The reshuffle comes as Kyiv works to consolidate its negotiating team ahead of continued peace talks, while also adjusting its military command structure amid the ongoing war. Analysts say the changes reflect Zelenskyy's effort to align his security leadership with the demands of both the battlefield and the negotiating table.
