Zelensky names Ihor Klymenko secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council

Zelensky says the appointment decree is still being drafted, and defense-production coordination will be the new secretary's top priority.

Klymenko moves from Ukraine's interior ministry to secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.
Zelensky says the appointment decree is already being prepared, with no signing date given.
Zelensky names defense-production coordination as a standalone priority for the incoming secretary.

Why it matters: Filling the council that commands the war with a loyal minister concentrates choice in one man, not many.
