“God be their judge”: Yermak stated “lack of support” after dismissal.

Yermak commented on former allies after resignation

Former Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak declared a lack of support from those he considered allies. He expressed hope that his critics will get what they deserve.

Andriy Yermak, the former head of the President’s Office, resigned following searches by anti-corruption bodies. In a comment for the Financial Times, Yermak noted that some of his former allies disappointed him with their criticism. In an interview with the publication, he said that those who did not support him “know who he is referring to” and added, “God be their judge.”

Earlier, Yermak stated in the New York Post that he felt embarrassed and unprotected, despite being in Kyiv since February 24, 2022. He mentioned the lack of support and expressed a desire to join the front, but did not specify when and in what format this would happen.

Yermak also noted that he holds no grudge against President Zelensky for his dismissal. Meanwhile, Zelensky’s advisor Dmytro Lytvyn stated regarding the further determination of the working format of the President’s Office after the appointment of a new leader.

On the morning of November 28, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office conducted searches at Yermak’s place. According to FT sources, this was related to a corruption case in the energy sector. After the searches, Yermak submitted his resignation, which the president accepted, announcing a reboot of the Office.

At this moment, there are no charges against Andriy Yermak.
