Ali Baba has resigned, but there are still 40 robbers left.

A mere days ago, Andriy Yermak was Volodymyr Zelensky’s right-hand man and his chief negotiator in the current peace process.

But now, he has fallen into disgrace and resigned.

We have been tracking Yermak’s work and scandals in TGP since November 2023:

A sitting Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksandr Dubinsky was slapped with a treason investigation ‘for allegedly spreading misinformation about the political leadership’.

He was expelled from Zelensky’s ‘Servant of the People party’, accused of being ‘a member of a criminal organization financed by Russia’s military intelligence’.

Dubinsky wrote on his social media:

“I am publicly addressing journalist Tucker Carlson, who will not be afraid to cover the topic of political persecution of the only politician and former journalist in Ukraine, who openly spoke about corruption of the country’s senior officials and the facts of theft of US financial assistance through the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in which deputies of the Servant of the People Party and officials of the Office of the President are involved.

Now the real president of Ukraine named Yermak is in the United States trying to convince the American government that there is no corruption in Ukraine, and to blame the theft committed by him and those from his circle on the scheming of ‘Kremlin agents’.

[…] By joining our forces, we will be able to reveal to the world the truth about the gang of swindlers who captured Ukraine. Reveal the Ugly Truth that Yermak and Zelensky and their associates are trying to hide.”

Trump team never liked him.

We continued to follow the authoritarian moves by the grey eminence:

In July: KIEV REGIME INFIGHTING: Zelensky’s ‘Grey Eminence’ Yermak Is on a Power Grab, Trying To Replace Top Ukrainian Spy Budanov – White House Brands Him ‘A Liability’ Linked to Hunter Biden; and Zelensky Stripped Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Agencies of Power Because They Were Investigating Officials Linked to His Grey Eminence Andriy Yermak: REPORT.

Finally, as the ‘Golden Toilet’ corruption scandal in the energy sector started to unfold, we reported that Zelensky Under Heavy Pressure in His Own Party To Fire His Gray Eminence Andriy Yermak as Corruption Scandal Intensifies: REPORT.

Ukrainian negotiators assert their commitment to retaining territorial integrity in ongoing peace talks with Russia.
Headline for The Atlantic article: Yermak was the top negotiator until the last moment.

About a week ago, Tucker Carlson denounced that the Wall Street Journal was withholding a dossier proving Yermak corruption.

But Zelensky’s chief of staff proceeded unabated, going public to state that Ukraine would not give up its territories in exchange for peace.

“Today, no sane person will sign a document ceding territory. As long as Zelensky is president, no one should expect us to give up territory”, he said.

Former top aide to Zelensky sends a message to The Post after resignation, expressing intent to go to the front lines.

But the NABU-SAPO raids came, and Yermak resigned one day before flying to Miami for ‘peace talks’ with US’ Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Ukrainian officials tell Axios ‘there is a lot of uncertainty right now’.

The future for Yermak seems uncertain, but he has sent an unexpected text message to NYP:

“The former top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday told The Post he is headed to the frontlines — hours after he submitted his resignation from the position in the wake of a raid on his home by Kyiv’s national anti-corruption bureau.

‘I’m going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals’, Andriy Yermak told The Post in an impassioned text message Friday night. ‘I am an honest and decent person’.”

Text message expressing commitment to service in Ukraine, mentioning readiness for reprisals and a farewell to loved ones, dated February 24, 2024.
