It is noted that Yermak likely retains access to information about processes within the Presidential Office and influence over some officials appointed during his tenure.
In fact, according to journalists’ sources, this suggests the preservation of influence over a significant part of the management vertical.
“One signal from the president, and everyone will stop answering calls from AB. But that signal does not exist. On the contrary, there is a signal confirming Andriy’s authority,” a source in political circles told Ukrainska Pravda.
Other sources claim that Yermak allegedly continues to influence decision-making through trusted individuals.
The article also cites statements from some political figures that a number of officials in state structures have remained in their positions after his tenure, which, according to the sources, indicates the preservation of influence.
One representative of the political environment noted that the situation had previously been mistakenly perceived as a problem of one person, whereas, according to him, it concerns a broader decision-making system.
At the same time, the statements presented are assessments and opinions of sources in political circles and do not have official confirmation.
