On September 29, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree removing Ihor Krawchenko, the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine, from the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC).
Reasons for Krawchenko's Removal
Currently, no official explanations have been provided regarding the reasons for this decision. Krawchenko served as a member of the NSDC in his capacity as Prosecutor General, but his removal may indicate changes in the council's composition or new priorities in Ukraine's security policy.
The Situation in the NSDC
According to the decree, as of now, no new candidate has been introduced to replace Krawchenko in the NSDC. This may suggest that the president does not plan to fill the vacant position for the time being or is awaiting further decisions regarding the council's composition.
