NV, citing an informed source in the security forces, reports that the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, may indeed leave his post in the near future, and his successor has probably already been selected.
According to the source, 55-year-old Oleh Ivashchenko, who currently serves as the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, may indeed become the new head of the GUR.
At the same time, he denied the information of some telegram channels about the current head of the GUR being sent as an ambassador to a foreign country.
Over the past few weeks, the political community has been discussing the possibility of Budanov's dismissal. According to MP Serhiy Rakhmanin, this is due to the fact that the head of the GUR does not get along with the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak.
