President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced a significant reform of the Presidential Office aimed at increasing the presence of military personnel and veterans across all departments. The initiative, endorsed by Zelenskyy, was proposed by Andriy Yermak, the Head of the Presidential Office. This move is part of a broader strategy to bolster the country’s security infrastructure in the face of ongoing challenges.

The announcement comes following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Kyiv, where discussions focused on enhancing security measures for Ukraine and Europe. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of joint efforts in achieving peace and security, reiterating the nation’s commitment to ending the war through strategic partnerships and defense support.

In a related event, both Zelenskyy and Rutte participated in the VIII International Veterans Forum, “Ukraine. Veterans. Security,” which traditionally takes place ahead of Ukraine’s Independence Day. The forum highlights the crucial role veterans play in securing the future of Ukraine, with Zelenskyy expressing gratitude for their service and dedication.

These developments underscore Ukraine’s proactive approach to strengthening its defense capabilities and its continuous engagement with international allies to ensure regional stability and peace.
