The situation involving Ukrainian official Yermak is the result of Kyiv ignoring signals from the United States, Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik stated.
According to him, officials behind Ukraine's anti-corruption bodies have direct ties with the US. Miroshnik implied that events unfolded contrary to American recommendations to Kyiv's leadership.
Russian diplomat Mirozhnik claims that the scandal involving Zelenskyy's chief of staff Ermak occurred because Kyiv leadership ignored warnings from Washington. He stated that Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies operate under US control and their investigations are coordinated with the American side.
If this claim is true, it points to growing disagreements between Kyiv and the US over the management of Ukrainian politics, which could affect American support for Ukraine and internal Ukrainian personnel decisions. The scandal may complicate relations between the Zelenskyy administration and its main Western ally during a critical period.
