Zelensky has not yet decided who will head the Office of the President: results of consultations and statements on security

Consultations on the new head of the President's Office

According to ХВИЛЯ: The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held consultations with all candidates for the position of head of the President's Office but has not yet made a final decision. These consultations took place on the way to Berlin, where a two-day diplomatic summit is being held. During these meetings, Zelensky also expressed his thoughts on security in Ukraine, particularly on the idea of a buffer zone in Donbas.

Zelensky's position on security

Zelensky noted that he does not consider the proposal from the United States regarding the creation of a buffer zone in Donbas to be fair. The President emphasized that this is a question for which there is currently no answer, but it is very sensitive and pressing. He also highlighted the importance of the summit in Berlin, where issues related to international security and stability in the region are being discussed.

Furthermore, Zelensky announced a 20-point framework plan concerning a ceasefire, and also mentioned that Ukraine and the USA are consulting on security guarantees for Ukraine. He stressed that the guarantees must be supported by the US Congress. Volodymyr Zelensky also noted that, speaking about the security situation:

'Today we are not talking about honesty, but about power.' - Volodymyr Zelensky

'I have not yet decided who will lead the President's Office,' - commented Zelensky, indicating that this issue remains open. He added that he signaled to his colleagues in the United States not to believe everything that Russia says. The issue of security, as the president noted, is extremely important, and 'can this change the security situation on the ground? Definitely.'

Thus, discussions on security and new candidates for the position of head of the President's Office continue, and a final decision has yet to be made.

The situation regarding the appointment of a new head of the President's Office indicates that the Ukrainian leadership seeks to find the optimal candidate who can work effectively in an unstable security situation. At the same time, security issues remain a priority on the international stage, especially in the context of discussions on guarantees from the USA, which could significantly affect the country's future.
