MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak has named possible candidates for the post of head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, which became vacant after the resignation of Andriy Yermak, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
“According to my information, there are four most likely candidates. This does not mean that there won’t be a fifth who will get the position. But for now, that’s the way it is. Yulia Svyrydenko. Pros: the President trusts her. Cons: In this case, the entire government would have to be reappointed, which is technically difficult, and the Rada would be an obstacle. Mykhailo Fedorov. Pros – reputation, positive rating and trust of the President. Cons – Mykhailo will be much more effective in the Government as an executive branch of power. And the position of the head of the OP is still more of a politician. Kyrylo Budanov. Pros – reputation, positive rating. The downside is that he is effective in his position. And the GUR is a state within the state. Denys Shmyhal. Pros – absolutely neutral and trusted by the President. Minuses – it will be necessary to look for a new Minister of Defense, but perhaps Mykhailo Fedorov will agree to this position,” he wrote.
However, the OSINT project DeepState reported that, according to their data, the President is considering the candidacy of Pavlo Palisa as the head of the Office.
“A rather interesting and logical appointment, if it comes to fruition. Palisa has been quite productive in his work as Deputy Head of the Presidential Office, having experience in training and good contacts with Americans, which is very necessary in today’s realities. In particular, he has already gained experience as a participant in all the negotiation processes of the heads of state. A military person in wartime is a logical and necessary necessity in the Presidential Administration, because the war is ongoing and the position and voice of the military must be heard both in the international arena and at home,“ DeepState said.
As a reminder, The New York Post writes that the former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy , Andriy Yermak, may “go to the front.”
