Zelensky appointed a Yanukovych-era general as deputy head of the Foreign Intelligence Service
President Vladimir Zelensky appointed Valery Evdokimov as deputy chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Service, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This is stated in the relevant decree.
“To appoint Valery Vladimirovich Evdokimov as deputy chairman of the Foreign Intelligence Service,” the text of the document says.
In 2013, Evdokimov headed the information department of the State Border Service Administration. In August of that year, then-President Viktor Yanukovych awarded Evdokimov the rank of major general.
