“I am grateful for his work within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There were many difficult challenges, and the response was always effective. Ihor Klymenko will continue to serve Ukraine in the field of protecting our state and its people. I have offered him the position of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The corresponding decree on his appointment is already being prepared,” Zelenskyy noted.
The President emphasized that the most important thing is to ensure the most effective coordination possible among all components of the security and defense sector and to monitor the implementation of decisions on a daily basis.
Every decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and the Office of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief must be implemented in full and on time. The Government of Ukraine, our Ukrainian Defense and Security Forces, and the entire system of state institutions must operate exactly as necessary to achieve the defined national goals.
