Former Aide to Zelenskyy Pledges to Fight on Frontline After Dismissal in Corruption Scandal

November 29, 2025

Yermak was removed from his position following revelations by Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies that individuals close to Zelenskyy were involved in a scheme to divert approximately $100 million from Ukraine’s energy sector. Yermak, a long-time confidant of Zelenskyy and regarded as the second-most powerful figure in the Ukrainian government, has not yet faced charges.

The former adviser played a crucial role in connecting Ukraine with its Western allies and led negotiations with Donald Trump’s administration. Zelenskyy has now appointed Rustem Umerov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, to lead discussions with senior American officials planned for Sunday.

In response to his dismissal, Yermak expressed his determination to defend his country, stating, “I’m disgusted by the filth directed at me, and even more disgusted by the lack of support from those who know the truth.”

“Maybe we’ll see each other again. Glory to Ukraine,” he concluded.

    So, the guy who was cozy with a $100M energy heist is now playing soldier? Talk about an upgrade from boardroom to battlefield—next he’ll be asking for a medal for bravery in the face of bad PR! 😂

    Seems like Yermak’s trying to trade his office chair for a combat helmet—talk about a career change. 😂 Maybe the front line pays better than those cozy corruption deals!

    Seems like Yermak’s idea of a career pivot is to swap cozy office chairs for trenches—how very noble, yet oddly convenient after a little financial hiccup. 🤔🇺🇦
