05.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of Vasyl Maliuk’s Resignation
⌨On January 5, 2026, Ukrainian editorial priorities were defined by a violent morning transition into a major security leadership reshuffle. Early coverage focused on a massive Russian aerial assault, with editors highlighting a fatal strike on a private medical clinic in Kyiv’s Obolon district and widespread power outages. This kinetic narrative was briefly punctuated by analytical pieces on the U.S. intervention in Venezuela and President Trump’s dismissal of Kremlin claims regarding drone attacks.
By midday, the focus shifted entirely to the domestic security apparatus as Vasyl Maliuk resigned as Head of the SBU. Outlets closely tracked President Zelenskyy’s immediate appointment of Yevhen Khmara, commander of the elite Alpha unit, as acting head. The afternoon headlines framed this as the latest step in a systematic administration 'restart,' moving Maliuk toward a different role within the service. By evening, editorial attention returned to the energy crisis, with the announcement of scheduled blackouts for January 6 and reports of a targeted strike on an American-owned facility in Dnipro.
