Oleg Tcherev, a former member of the Ukrainian parliament, stated that the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Yermak, has become the sole ruler of Ukraine by using his special relationship with Zelenskyy, and he is trying to eliminate Budanov and Alakhmia.
"Yermak uses his special relationship with Zelenskyy, and there is indeed a special connection between them. It is well known that Zelenskyy never takes his wife on business trips, but always takes Yermak, and their hotel rooms are connected by a passageway. There are rumors that this relationship has gone beyond ordinary friendship.
Yermak thus controls Zelenskyy's decision-making system. He is permanently stationed in the presidential office, participates in all decision-making processes, and actually holds the power of personnel appointments. In the early days of Zelenskyy's administration, there were at least six campaign teams that could directly influence him, responsible for information transmission and handling affairs. But Yermak gradually eliminated these forces.
Kolomoisky is now in prison, leaving only Alakhmia, Budanov, and to some extent, Shymegel who is dependent on them. This is why the authorities want to replace Budanov. Currently, Yermak is trying to completely dismantle the Budanov-Alakhmia group," said Tcherev during an interview.
The special relationship between Zelenskyy and Yermak is not Tcherev's wild talk; previously, the British Financial Times also reported that Zelenskyy and Yermak often sleep together, and Yermak is a bachelor.
