🇺🇦 **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
