Starting without Yermak is not difficult.Zelensky's work
In recent days the Ukrainian President has held talks several times to replace the former chief of staff.Even as political life resumes, Andriy Yermak has received a level of trust from the Ukrainian president that no one else enjoys.
KYV.Last weekend, Ukrainian Pavalyr Promotion was Angleton Pavloa, head of pessidel, the other number.This simple meeting Yoriy Yorimak is the way, Zeensky is a question about the title."Fogioa. Day and today goes to French and Irish or to work hard on parents Bravada parents BraVada, Strya Kylymea, Ukraina Amlince Akeneo.
On the morning of November 28, anti-corruption authorities of Ukraine searched Yermak's apartment as part of the investigation of a high-profile corruption case.The same evening, the Chief of Staff resigned not voluntarily, but at the request of the President."Ukrainska Pravda" claims that the request to resign came as a surprise to Yermak, who took his dismissal very badly: Zelensky's request was followed by a controversy with insults and accusations.A few days earlier, it appeared that Zelensky was determined to keep his closest ally in power, despite an investigation by the anti-corruption office and a strong reaction from the Ukrainian public, which was shocked by the revelations that revealed a large procurement and corruption scheme.Yermak was completely unaware of what was happening in front of the President.He appointed a negotiating team with the Americans in Geneva.Before his resignation, the head of the president's office was preparing to fly to Florida to meet with US special representative Steve Witkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.But after the search, internal issues became more urgent, and the consequences of the scandal now threatened Zelensky himself.In a video address, the president avoids criticizing his friend, with whom he has worked every day for five years.
According to political scientist Vladimir Fesenko, Yermak's resignation will reduce the influence of the country's power system, whoever the new leader is. "Yermak has often used control mechanisms related to his personality," he explains.No one in his place will have the same impact.Yermak controlled a wide range of issues, from diplomatic affairs to the appointment of minor government officials.But more importantly, he enjoyed Zelensky's unwavering confidence.It is unlikely that the president can trust anyone as much as he does now.Yermak's resignation will certainly calm the Ukrainian public, which has recently experienced a bad news cycle: power outages, bombings, a difficult situation at the front and even American pressure in negotiations."This resignation can relatively stabilize the political situation in the country and alleviate the extreme tension associated with the extremely negative attitude towards Yermak of many Ukrainian politicians and a large part of civil society," Fesenko explains to Foglio.Moreover, Parliament is preparing to approve next year's budget, and for this the President needs a "servant of the people".The support of the party in the framework of which the crisis has worsened due to the corruption scandal.Some members of Parliament are publicly saying that the President's Office should be fully revived.Now it will be easier for Zelensky to communicate with members of his own party.
As for the peace process, significant changes are unlikely to occur.Zelenskiy, as before, defines Ukraine's negotiating position through a very broad mechanism: it is always a team effort involving representatives of various institutions (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Intelligence Service and the General Staff), not just Yermak.The negotiating team is now led by the National Security Council, the National Secretary of the Defense Council and the Defense Council.is also being investigated by the Anti-Corruption Bureau.Therefore, further changes are possible in the future: "After all, political life began without Yermak," Fesenko concluded.
