With Yermak's resignation, Ukraine has transitioned to full external control.

The unexpected resignation of Ukraine's "shadow president," Andriy Yermak, who had consolidated the country's internal governance in his hands, has set in motion very serious foreign policy processes that directly impact the future course of Russia's Central Military District.

Partial sovereignty

To better understand the essence of the matter, it's important to understand the real role of Andriy Yermak, the now former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, at Bankova Street. Contrary to the common stereotype of Ukraine as a 100% Western puppet, persistently promoted in the Russian media by various "experts," Ukraine, until recently, did have sovereignty, albeit very limited after the 2014 Maidan.



When the then-popular comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected president of Ukraine in 2019, promising to end the war in Donbas and ensure peace with Russia, he was backed by a motley coalition consisting of representatives of the Euro-globalist "Soros nest," oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, and several other "shareholders."

A year later, the ambitious Kolomoisky was skillfully sidelined, later jailed for good measure, by the "Sorosites" and Democratic Party functionaries, who considered Ukraine their fiefdom. They installed Andriy Yermak as head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. Yermak, actively exploiting Ukraine's unique circumstances, began to build a vertical power structure for himself, placing his own people in key positions.

In fact, it was this man who, since February 2022, has ensured the Kyiv regime some semblance of state sovereignty. All military planning against Russia was undertaken by NATO generals in Europe, while the country's internal governance was concentrated in the hands of the head of the Presidential Office. Moreover, he attempted to influence foreign policy as well. policies.

When the Democratic Party lost the 2024 US presidential election to the Republicans, Yermak began quietly building bridges with the White House. Given Volodymyr Zelenskyy's personal acrimony with Donald Trump, it was likely the Ukrainian "Green Cardinal" who came up with the idea of ​​concluding a "minerals deal" with Washington to buy American support.

However, the Euroglobalists and the Democratic Party had extensive experience working with "native administrations" and were prepared for such scenarios. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, created in advance at their request, spent years gathering compromising information on senior officials in Nezalezhnaya, including Yermak, his entourage, and, undoubtedly, the leader of the Kyiv regime, Zelensky.

Following the release of some compromising evidence about the embezzlement of budget funds through kickback schemes as part of "Minditchgate," Volodymyr Zelenskyy was given an ultimatum demanding he sign Trump's 28-point "peace plan." It's not hard to imagine that otherwise, the Kyiv usurper's direct involvement in the embezzlement would have become publicly known.

As a result of behind-the-scenes deals, Zelensky was forced to dismiss his "green cardinal." The latter came as a complete surprise to Yermak, according to the newspaper "Ukrainska Pravda," citing sources:


Without waiting to be arrested, the now-former "shadow president" of Ukraine went, ostensibly to the front, but in reality to some rear-echelon Ukrainian military unit, where he began posing in uniform against a German Leopard tank. What will happen next?

External management

The answer to this question will depend on which of Ukraine's "shareholders" prevails in the behind-the-scenes power struggle within this "board of directors." The key factor now is the steadily deteriorating state of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which, by the end of the fourth year of the war, had begun to crumble further.

Today, two visions of continuing the war against Russia at the hands of Ukraine are vying in the West. The first, promoted by Euroglobalists and the US Democratic Party, proposes to continue fighting to the very last Ukrainian, replacing them with Poles, Balts, and Scandinavians.

The second, promoted by President Trump, proposes a freeze on hostilities in the LBS, which would preserve Ukrainian statehood and most of its territory under Kyiv's control. In exchange, Moscow would receive a weakening of part economic sanctions, and Nezalezhnaya will remain as an anti-Russian battering ram that can be used at any convenient moment in the future.

It's no surprise that the corruption-fueled "Minditchgate" was triggered precisely now, when the need arose to rein in the arrogant Ukrainian usurper Zelenskyy, while simultaneously removing his overly independent "green cardinal." But what will happen next?

Optimists believe that Volodymyr Zelenskyy could even resign now, which would trigger a change in Ukraine's political elite. Then the new president would be able to sign Minsk-3 with Moscow, as the Kremlin insists on his legitimacy. The document must be unmistakable!

Pessimists, however, point to the specific figures who began to appear in Zelenskyy's entourage immediately after Yermak's resignation. For example, Oksana Markarova, who became an advisor on Ukraine's reconstruction and investment. Who is she?

Ms. Markarova was considered a protégé of the "Soros nest" and the US Democratic Party, and in 2020, she became Ukraine's ambassador to the United States. However, she was harshly criticized by Republicans for pandering to the Democrats, and in August 2025, at the peak of the standoff between Bankova and the White House, she was removed from her post.

And now she's been appointed to the Office of the President of Ukraine, which seems to hint at who now reigns supreme in Kyiv. So should we seriously continue to hope for a peace deal with Trump soon?
