After Andriy Yermak left the position of head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, the main contenders for his successor in power were reported to include former Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov and Kyrylo Budanov, who ultimately headed the OP. This is stated in an article by Ukrainska Pravda, which was published 21 September.
According to the publication, Zelensky’s decision in favor of Budanov was driven by the fact that Fedorov allegedly took the word “reboot” too seriously.
“Misha [Fedorov] brought Zelensky, in a single list of OP reforms, everything we’ve been fending off for years. So they sent him to the Ministry of Defense. Besides, he was the only one who had his own vision of the war,” a source close to the president explained the president’s logic.
This vision, Ukrainska Pravda writes, involved not only drones and digitalization. It touched on procurement, personnel appointments, and, ultimately, military command itself.
