Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has replaced one of the country’s top security officials in a reshuffle that comes as the war with Russia drags into a third year.

Mr Zelenskyy dismissed Oleksii Danilov, who served as secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, thanking him for his service in a video late on Tuesday.
