Following the dismissal of Andriy Yermak from the post of head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, the powers of all his advisers and assistants, both full-time and part-time, were terminated.

This was reported by Ukrainski Novyny, citing a response from the Presidential Office.

“In connection with the dismissal of the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, individuals who held the positions of assistants and advisers (both full-time and part-time) to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine have been dismissed from their positions,” the OP’s response stated.

The official list of dismissed individuals was not made public. However, the publication notes that as of December 2024, Andriy Yermak had nine advisers. The full-time advisers included Alexander Bevz, Lilia Pashinna, Victoria Romanova, and Tatyana Gaiduchenko. The part-time advisers included Sergey Leshchenko, Daria Zarovna, Mikhail Podolyak, Elina Yelyanova, and Alexander Rodnyansky.

Earlier, political scientist Volodymyr Tsybulko reported that the recent dismissals of three former employees of the State Security Service, a NABU detective, and the easing of Colonel Chervinsky’s regime were linked to changes at Bankova Street. However, Andriy Yermak still retains influence over the government.

Meanwhile, “de-Ermakization” continues in Ukraine —that’s how members of parliament commented on the dismissal from pretrial detention of three former State Security Service employees, who were required to incriminate fifth president Petro Poroshenko in a case fabricated based on Russian FSB materials. Furthermore, lawyer Konstantin Globa previously reported that the court had replaced former Main Intelligence Directorate employee Roman Chervinsky’s 24-hour house arrest with overnight house arrest.

Chervinsky himself attributes the change in his pretrial detention from 24-hour house arrest to the dismissal of Andriy Yermak as head of the Presidential Office. On the air of “Pryamoy,” the counterintelligence officer stated that judges are tired of following Bankova’s orders , and the pressure on them has significantly eased.
