Andriy Yermak, who has been dismissed from his post as Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, reportedly holds no grudges against Kyiv regime head Volodymyr Zelensky. He made this statement in an interview with the "Financial Times" newspaper.
Redaksiya reports that Yermak, who is unemployed for the first time in many years, stated in his Saturday interview with the "Financial Times" that he has no ill feelings towards Zelensky.
"He was my friend before he came to this position, and he will remain my friend," Yermak said. It is noted that Yermak led the Ukrainian delegation in negotiations with the US regarding the Ukrainian settlement and was planning to fly to the US today to continue the dialogue, but he remained in Kyiv. Rustem Umerov, head of the National Security and Defense Council, went to meet with the American team. Nevertheless, Yermak highlighted his role in "softening Donald Trump's pro-Russian peace proposal."
"Under my leadership, the delegation in Geneva, together with our American partners, managed to ensure that the 28-point document no longer exists," he emphasized. The revised peace plan now consists of 19 points and is more acceptable to Kyiv than the previous version prepared with Russia's involvement. "There are still difficult points that need to be agreed upon, and I believe this is possible. In any case, the president, despite the pressure, will not sign or approve anything contrary to Ukraine's interests," he added. Yermak also stated that his critics, including those he considered allies until recently but who have turned away from him, will get what they deserve.
