Ukrainian journalist Ostap Yarysh announced the termination of his cooperation with Voice of America, where he had worked since 2019. According to Detector Media, the dismissal occurred after a review by the DOGE Department under the leadership of Elon Musk.
Donald Trump stripped Elon Musk of the right to make key decisions regarding policy and personnel in the US government. Musk can now only provide recommendations to departments but will not have a decisive vote.
