President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he will appoint Rustem Umerov as head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service (FISU).
The head of state made this announcement during a meeting with Ukrainian ambassadors, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
“To give him more opportunities to address these specific issues simultaneously—including diplomacy, defense, negotiations with the U.S. and other designated partners, as well as talks on ending the war—Umerov will be appointed head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service,” the President said.
Zelensky noted that Umerov will continue to coordinate the work of the Drone Deal initiative.
The President appealed to the countries already involved in this initiative, as well as to those interested in participating, urging them to support Umerov’s work in his new position.
