03.08.2026 ⇢ The Day of Zelensky's Double Appointment
⌨
Editors led with President Zelensky's appointment of Rustem Umerov as head of the Foreign Intelligence Service and Ihor Klymenko as National Security Council secretary, a story that broke mid-morning and dominated coverage through the afternoon. Zelensky confirmed the moves and announced a special Security Council meeting, framing the reshuffle as part of a push to end the war before winter.
Earlier, overnight drone strikes on a Belgorod drone-development university and Wildberries warehouses in Russia drew attention, but the appointments quickly overtook them. A Russian strike on a Dnipropetrovsk gas station killed three, including a child, and an Odesa transport infrastructure hit injured 16. By evening, Zelensky dismissed five ambassadors, including the envoy to the US, and former commander Zaluzhnyi stated Ukraine would never join NATO.
