Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a significant change in the country's security apparatus by replacing a key security official in the midst of escalating tensions with Russian forces. Zelenskyy announced the dismissal of Oleksii Danilov, who previously served as the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, in a video address on Tuesday.
While the president did not provide a specific reason for the decision, he expressed gratitude for Danilov's service and mentioned that Danilov would be reassigned to a different role. Taking over the position is Oleksandr Lytvynenko, the former head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service.
