Zelensky dismisses presidential adviser on strategic issues in latest decree
"Over these two years, our defense industry has become a strategic sector within the country and has begun to integrate into the defense industrial architecture of Europe and the United States. I thank the President for the trust and the opportunity to be of service," former adviser Oleksandr Kamyshin said.
President Volodymyr Zelensky removed Oleksandr Kamyshin, the presidential adviser on strategic issues, in a decree issued on August 31. In the same document, Kamyshin announced that he would no longer serve in his advisory role, but would remain employed in the defense sector. He expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him and the opportunity to contribute to the nation.
Kamyshin added that the defense industry had evolved into a strategic pillar of the country, with beginnings of integration into Europe's and the United States' defense industrial frameworks. It remains uncertain whether a replacement has been appointed to oversee strategic issues. The Ukrainian government has experienced several personnel changes recently, most notably the dismissal of former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, which led to protests in Kyiv.
Fedorov played a pivotal role in high-profile defense projects, such as disrupting Russian forces' access to Starlink systems, coordinating long-range strikes on Russian logistics in occupied Crimea, and spearheading military reforms.
