Klymenko named Security Council secretary by Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed Ihor Klymenko as secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, according to a presidential decree published on Aug. 3. The new NSDC secretary will lead the council in a special format this week to assess the implementation of resilience plans in Ukraine's regions and communities, with those failing to carry out these plans facing accountability.

Klymenko, who has led Ukraine's Interior Ministry since February 2023, brings exceptional experience in coordinating the security sector, particularly from last winter.
