🔴 Rustem Umerov officially heads the HUR of Ukraine. The main goal is to 'revitalize' the service and strengthen intelligence. However, he will continue unofficial diplomacy: contacts with the US, E3, Middle East. He will not become ambassador to the US — too many directions. Works with Kushner and Witkoff on peace plans. Also oversees Drone Deals and the 'Freya' program. Zelensky trusts him with direct access to decisions. #Ukraine #HUR #Umerov #Zelensky #Diplomacy

🇺🇦 **Shadow Architect of Power: Who is David Arakhamia in 2026?** RBC-Ukraine has revealed details about the role of the head of the 'Servant of the People' faction, who has become the unofficial 'parliament director' and Zelenskyy's chief negotiator. 🔹 **Personnel Policy:** Unlike Yermak, Arakhamia dispersed responsibility but secured the appointment of 'his own' ministers (Kim, Bezgin, Butenko). 🔹 **Future of the Rada:** Preparing a coalition of 'Zelenskyy Bloc' + 'Budanov Bloc' in case of losing the majority. 🔹 **Diplomacy:** Engages in 'real' diplomacy without notes; his powers are broader than those of the former Head of the President's Office. 📉 **Conclusion:** Arakhamia is a key figure in domestic policy and negotiations, whose influence is growing against the backdrop of the 'old army' crisis. #Ukraine #Politics #Arakhamia #Zelenskyy #ServantOfThePeople

🇪🇺 Europe is creating its own conflict resolution plan, fearing exclusion by the Trump administration. France, Germany, and Britain are coordinating actions to avoid being excluded from negotiations with the RF. 🇺🇦 Crisis in Kyiv: Zelenskyy cannot find an ambassador to the US. Yulia Sviridenko refused the post. This is critical against the backdrop of a Patriot missile deficit and the threat of winter. 🚀 Zelenskyy: we need 10% of missile stockpiles to intercept all RF ballistic missiles. Currently, supplies are 2.5 times lower than in 2025. 🇺🇸 The opposition in Ukraine believes that Zelenskyy may delay the appointment of the ambassador until the US midterm elections.
