Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed a longtime aide and several advisers in a continuing reshuffle on Saturday, while Russia unleashed new attacks overnight.

Zelenskyy dismissed top aide Serhiy Shefir from his post of first assistant, where he had served since 2019.

The Ukrainian president also let go of three advisers and two presidential representatives overseeing volunteer activities and soldiers’ rights.

No explanation was given immediately for the latest changes in a wide-reaching personnel shake-up over recent months.

It included the dismissal on Tuesday of Oleksii Danilov, who served as secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, and Valerii Zaluzhnyi as head of the armed forces on February 8.

Zaluzhnyi was appointed Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom earlier this month.

Drones, and missiles fired across Ukraine

Ukraine’s air force said on Saturday that Russia launched 12 Shahed drones overnight, nine of which were shot down, and fired four missiles into eastern Ukraine.

Russia unleashed a barrage of 38 missiles, 75 air raids and 98 attacks from multiple rocket launchers over the last 24 hours, Ukraine’s armed forces said in social media posts.

Two people were killed and one wounded in Russian shelling in Ukraine’s partially occupied Donetsk province, regional Governor Vadym Filashkin said on Saturday.

Ukrainian energy company Centrenergo announced that the Zmiiv Thermal Power Plant, one of the largest thermal power plants in the eastern Kharkiv region, was completely destroyed following Russian shelling last week.

Power outage schedules were still in place for approximately 120,000 people in the region, where 700,000 people had lost electricity after the plant was hit on March 22.

Russia has escalated its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in recent days, causing significant damage in several regions.

Officials in the Poltava region said on Saturday that there had been “several hits” to an infrastructure facility without specifying whether it was an energy facility.

Meanwhile, the toll of Friday’s mass barrage of 99 drones and missiles hitting regions across Ukraine came to light on Saturday, with local officials in the Kherson region announcing the death of one civilian. A resident of the Dnipropetrovsk region died in a hospital from shell wounds, according to regional Governor Serhiy Lisak.

Former head sues German domestic intelligence agency


971d0253b8cbe72c1e628a273176098e

The former head of the German domestic intelligence service, Hans-Georg Maaßen, is taking legal action against his former agency.

On Friday evening, a lawsuit was filed against the agency, formally known as the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, at the Cologne Administrative Court, Maaßen explained on Saturday when asked by dpa.

The court was initially unavailable on Saturday to confirm receipt of the complaint.

At the end of January, it became known that the agency had stored data on its former president in its information system in the area of right-wing extremism.

Maaßen accuses Interior Minister Nancy Faeser of using the domestic intelligence service “to monitor opponents of the government,” he told dpa.

“Opponents of the government are not enemies of the constitution. In doing so, she is seriously violating her official duties and damaging liberal democracy,” Maaßen said, adding that this had prompted him to file a complaint. Faeser is “intolerable” as interior minister and must be “removed from office immediately,” he said.

According to Maaßen, the claim comprises 40 pages and 165 pages of annexes, excerpts of which were made available to dpa. It shows that Maaßen is objecting to the fact “that he has been categorized by the defendant/respondent as an object of observation or is currently being treated as such.”

Accordingly, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution should also refrain from collecting, analysing, requesting and storing information, personal data, information, messages and documents relating to Maaßen.
