Details: Danilov was offered a diplomatic post immediately after his dismissal from the Council, and consultations within the president’s team are currently underway.

Danilov is also considering this option.

Quote from Ukrainska Pravda’s source: "Moldova is currently the most likely option."

Background: On 29 March, President Zelenskyy dismissed Marko Shevchenko as Ambassador of Ukraine to Moldova. Shevchenko had been in the position since early 2020.
