Andriy Yermak, the man who until just over 24 hours ago was Zelensky’s right hand man and the president’s top most powerful aid as chief of staff, and Ukraine’s appointed chief negotiator with the US on the peace process, is going to the front lines, apparently to “fight”.
After his home and offices were raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigators Friday related to the ongoing massive energy sector kickback scandal, Yermak announced by text message to The New York Post, “I’m going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals.” He followed with, “I am an honest and decent person.”
The Post added further, “He then apologized if he no longer answers calls. He did not say when or how he intended to go to the frontlines of the war against Russia.”
