Powerful and authoritarian Yermak is on the crosshairs.
As much as the MSM has tried to whitewash Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky and make sure to insulate him from any repercussions from the corruption scandal that is rocking Ukraine, the noose is tightening around his neck.
Ministers sacked, officials in prison, Zelensky’s partner Timur Mindich a fugitive in Israel, unconfirmed reports that top aide Rustem Umerov will also not return to the country…
It’s a catastrophe – and now they are coming for the all-powerful chief of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak.
Reposts say that Zelensky is under ‘fierce pressure’ to fire his gray eminence amid the country’s biggest domestic political crisis since the start of the war.
Politico reported:
“The pressure to ditch Yermak — described to POLITICO by four senior Ukrainian officials involved in political discussions in Kyiv — poses a problem for Zelenskyy because it comes partly from within the ranks of his own Servant of the People party.
The crisis looks set to come to a head on Thursday, when Zelensky will hold crunch meetings with government officials and members of parliament. Yermak runs the presidential office and is a sharp-elbowed political operator who has been crucial in steering Zelensky’s rule since he took power in 2019. Some see him as almost a co-president.”
Politico’s sources say that Zelensky will fight back and defend Yermak from the attacks.
“While there have been attempts to link Yermak directly to the snowballing corruption scandal, the campaign against him is also a sign of broader frustration — within both the opposition and Zelensky’s party — over Yermak’s domineering presence in the presidential office. An earlier drive by that office to strip Ukraine’s anti-corruption bureau of its independence triggered public fury in July.”

“Yermak’s political opponents are trying to link him directly to the scandal — saying either he or one of his lieutenants is the anonymous individual referred to as Ali Baba in wiretaps related to the energy case. The NABU anti-corruption bureau, however, says it can ‘neither confirm nor deny’ that allegation, and Yermak himself protests his innocence.
‘People mention me, and sometimes, absolutely without any evidence, they try to accuse me of things I don’t even know about’, he told POLITICO’s sister publication Welt in the Axel Springer Group last week, when asked directly whether he was involved.”
