📋 Tender Overview
Today we started a significant reboot - internal changes to make Ukraine more stable. Last year there were also good results of state institutions, which should be made bigger. There were also problems that should not be left in the new year. Therefore, there is a wave of personnel changes, and there will be more decisions - in institutions.
First: Kyrylo Budanov has been appointed head of the Office of the President. Kirills experience and strength are enough to direct the work of the Office to security issues and the negotiation process - exactly as it should be.
Second: Oleg Ivashchenko will head the GUR of the Ministry of Defense. He himself served in the GUR and headed the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine - a professional person. Regarding SZR - a decision is coming soon.
Third: the new head of the Border Service of Ukraine, and I am waiting for a nomination from the Minister of Internal Affairs for the appointment. They talked about changes with both Serhii Deinek and Igor Klymenko - there will be new approaches in the management of the border service.
Fourth: instructed to prepare a presidential draft law for the renewal of the DBR. There are things that should be changed. I am waiting for the draft law in January to be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for consideration. Government officials and the Office should jointly prepare proposals for the DBR.
Fifth: the deputy head of the Office of the President Pavlo Palis, who himself was the commander of combat units, will communicate with our combat brigades in the coming days to determine what decisions can strengthen Ukrainian positions. There will also be changes in the field of military education: education must know directly from the front what this war has taught, and everyone who trains Ukrainian soldiers must learn what war is.
He also decided to change the format of the work of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. I proposed Mykhailo Fedorov to become the new Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Mykhailo is deeply involved in issues related to the Line of Drones, works very effectively in the digitalization of public services and processes. Together with all our military, with the military command, together with the national arms manufacturers and partners of Ukraine, we need to implement such changes in the field of defense that will help. Everything rests on the stability of Ukrainians, and our stability must include the necessary weapons, necessary energy, necessary finances, necessary politics, and necessary support of institutions. Denys Shmyhal remains in our team, in the Ukrainian team, and I am grateful to him for his systematic work for the state. Last year, the Ministry of Defense gave good results, in particular, in December, the order for the production of interceptor drones was fulfilled - more than a thousand per day production. We are working to increase the number of trained crews. And there were many more such tasks. Mykhailo Fedorov will be able to implement all this and add technological capabilities. I offered Denys Shmyhal to lead another direction in state work - and no less important for our stability.
Tomorrow we will continue the changes. There will be more decisions.
And tomorrow there will be a meeting at the level of security advisers - Europe plus the United States of America. Thanks to everyone who helps!
Glory to Ukraine!
