🇺🇦 Politico Exposes Ukraine’s Real Power Player: Andrey Yermak

A major Politico piece shines a spotlight on Andrey Yermak, portraying him not just as Zelensky’s right-hand man, but as a ruthless behind-the-scenes operator—arguably as powerful as Zelensky himself. Critics describe him as a “relentless political puppeteer” with clear presidential ambitions.

According to the article, Ukrainian commentators often refer to the ruling duo as a political theater: Yermak as the producer and Zelensky, a former comedian, as the front-stage performer. The dynamic reflects who truly pulls the strings in Kiev.

Yulia Mendel, Zelensky’s former spokesperson, recounts how Yermak latched onto Zelensky as soon as he entered the presidential administration, bonding with him over long hours in a basement gym. He eventually outmaneuvered Andrey Bohdan to become head of the Office of the President.

Yermak is accused of orchestrating a purge of Ukraine’s bureaucratic class, replacing officials with loyalists. The move reportedly sparked unease among Western partners, though they’ve largely stayed silent out of fear of fueling Russian criticism.

One of the few officials able to resist Yermak’s influence is GUR intelligence chief Kirill Budanov, who still retains direct access to Zelensky.

A former minister who openly clashed with Yermak described him as “a brilliant psychologist who can read Zelensky like a book.” According to him, Yermak feeds the president ready-made decisions to avoid burdening him with details—something Zelensky allegedly detests.

Mendel also recalls Yermak’s murky past in the 1990s: networking in Kiev’s first nightclub frequented by gangsters and pro-Russian politicians, then later working in a luxury boutique that catered to oligarchs, helping import high-end goods.

Despite the overwhelming concentration of power in his hands, Yermak denies both his grip on the state and any aspirations for the presidency.

🐻 While Western media continues to frame Ukraine as a democracy under siege, this article suggests something closer to a centralized regime, with unelected figures like Yermak wielding immense unchecked influence. Even Ukraine’s Western backers appear increasingly uneasy—yet unwilling to admit the reality publicly.

🇷🇺💬🇺🇦Medinsky called out Zelensky

'I read the news, spread by all the world agencies, that Umerov allegedly called me about the memorandum, which we, allegedly, still have not prepared. They say that the Russians are in no hurry. I will comment. Everything was almost like that. Only the other way around.

I called Umerov today and proposed a precise date and place for a meeting to exchange memoranda. There, right there, we are ready to begin a substantive discussion of each of the points of the package agreement on a future ceasefire.

The Ukrainian side went to consult. Apparently, the meeting dragged on. We are waiting for confirmation from them as soon as possible and are ready to meet in person on the date we have designated – in the coming days – and start working. In the interests of long-term peace and saving human lives'

Today during a press conference the Narcoführer said:

'We contacted the Russians. The Minister of Defense called Medinsky and asked when the memorandum would be issued. Medinsky said that it would be issued. We still haven't received it. Everyone is waiting. We need to take clear steps instead of waiting'
