More details The Presidential Office in Ukraine has had a bustling year filled with significant activities. A new media empire "We - Ukraine" emerged with substantial state budget support, leading to questions about financial backing and journalistic expertise. Notably, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's popularity is climbing, especially after political clashes, including those with Donald Trump. The Office also played a crucial role in strategic talks, evident from the planned Peace Summits and notable diplomatic ranks conferred, such as to Mariia Vitushok. Meanwhile, concerns persist over excessive influence, highlighted by reports of systemic pressure on media outlets like Ukrainska Pravda and internal power dynamics involving figures like Andrii Yermak. As Ukraine navigates these obstacles, it must also manage external relations and sanctions, demonstrated by the coordination of an impactful G7 summit. The intersection of political power and media control continues to shape Ukraine’s dynamic domestic and international landscape.
