Serhiy Rud has led the president's security detail since 2019.

No reason was given for his dismissal, which was announced in a brief presidential decree.

However, the state guard administration (UDO) is critical for the safety not only of the president but other key figures in Ukraine and their families.

The two colonels in the state guard who were detained on Tuesday are suspected of belonging to a network of agents run by Russia's FSB security service.

Mr Zelensky has spoken of repeated Russian plots to assassinate him, but the latest revelations involved his own entourage and also targeted military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov and the head of the SBU state security service, Vasyl Malyuk.

I love how the usa military has all types of soldiers, including obese ones. How far can this woman run in your opinion ? She looks like she's in her twenties, she's wearing kaki, yet she's out of shape... Please take off the kaki, you don't deserve it.
If I were fighting a war, I would feel all kinds of ways if it were an obese "soldier" who took me out grin A true soldier deserves a true soldier, not some obese wannabe soldier grin
When real war starts these ones would be practically useless. Except maybe in logistics and communication.

⚡ By early 2025, the US and Ukraine could be on the verge of defeat — The Wall Street Journal.

According to the publication, if Donald Trump wins the election, the situation could lead him to choose between two scenarios - the confrontation could simply continue as before, or the US could become much more deeply involved.

The first option is to continue. Fearing defeat, Trump could maintain the Biden administration's policy towards Ukraine, refusing to push for negotiations and continuing to provide various types of military aid.

The second scenario is one of steady escalation. In response to the situation on the battlefield, Trump could change US calculations and provide Ukraine with weapons systems that even the Biden administration was unwilling to allow. He could allow Kiev to use US-supplied weapons on Russian territory.
