President Volodymyr Zelensky has removed his powerful deputy chief of staff, Andriy Yermak. The dismissal signals a major shift in Ukraine's wartime administration.
Yermak served two critical roles. He was a key leader in Ukraine's peace negotiations with Russia. He also acted as an enforcer, maintaining internal political discipline during the war.
His departure creates immediate vacancies in these vital positions. The government must now continue its diplomatic efforts and manage internal politics without him.
