Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau will make an important statement tonight. If the content is that Yermak was indicted on Friday, Zelenskyy's control over Ukraine will completely collapse.
As the head of Zelenskyy's office, Yermak has most of the power in Ukraine, replacing Zelenskyy to control the majority in the parliament, the Ukrainian government, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the State Investigation Service.
If Yermak is indicted, he will be detained immediately. Even if he pays a bail, he will have to resign and accept supervision, and will not be able to command and influence Zelenskyy's decisions. Zelenskyy will lose control over the majority in the parliament and the government, as well as political control over the Security Service and the State Investigation Service.
The U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine, Driscoll, has already arrived in Kyiv. Whether or not Yermak is indicted may depend on Zelenskyy's attitude towards the U.S. 22-point peace plan. The chaotic domestic situation in Ukraine is ultimately being controlled by the White House.
