Is @ZelenskyyUa finally ready to fire his notorious right-hand man, Andriy @AndriyYermak?

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, has consolidated an unprecedented level of power within Ukraine’s government — wielding influence across parliament, the Cabinet, and key state institutions.

“The thinking in the president’s head is shaped by a single person,” Vitaliy Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center’s board of directors said. “And even if Zelensky were a governance genius, that would still be a disaster.”

Despite his dominance, however, Yermak has remained a controversial figure, often viewed with skepticism both inside Ukraine and abroad.

Yermak's reach extends into law enforcement through trusted deputies and places him at the center of high-level diplomatic meetings, frequently sidelining Ukraine's traditional foreign service.

His role as Zelensky's gatekeeper has made him indispensable, but also a subject of ridicule and frustration among allies, who complain that his ubiquity far outstrips his skills.

"We have to deal with him, he's Zelensky's man," a senior European official told the Kyiv Independent. "We don't have a choice."

In Kupiansk, Russian troops are in a worse position than Ukrainian military

This was reported by the spokesperson of the operational-strategic group of forces "Khortytsia," Viktor Trehubov.

He clarified that the improvement was achieved thanks to a series of strikes on those groups of Russian troops trying to infiltrate the city.

The invaders who found themselves in the city cannot either leave or establish supply and replenishment – the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preventing this.

"We see when something is dropped to them – so when they approach it for something, they can be hit," explained Trehubov.

🤡 Leader of the "DNR" Pushilin boasted about "footage from Pokrovsk"

In turn, Julian @JulianRoepcke, a journalist from the German publication @BILD and a well-known military analyst, geolocated Pushilin's video. ..

It turned out that the leader of the "DNR" militants is actually in #Ocheretino, which is 32 kilometers from #Pokrovsk.

The leader of the so-called "DPR" Denis Pushilin showed a video allegedly made in the Ukrainian, already surrounded Pokrovsk .
obozrevatel.com/ukr/location/u…

The collaborator and traitor spoke about the "difficult situation", despite which the Russian occupiers are allegedly "moving forward" , etc.

In turn, a journalist from the German publication Bild, a well-known military analyst Julian Röpke, geolocated Pushilin's video.

It turned out that the leader of the "DPR" militants is actually in Ocheretino , which is 32 kilometers from Pokrovsk.

"Russia announces the almost complete occupation of Pokrovsk;
- Putin even invites journalists there.

As proof, Putin's appointed leader of the "DPR" makes a message supposedly "from Pokrovsk." But there is a small flaw:
- the video was shot 32 km east of the city ," the German notes.😇

Secret Kremlin poll reveals collapse in support for Putin’s war

The war has dragged on through waves of sanctions, mounting losses, and growing strain on the economy

Nearly four years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the conflict continues to shape every aspect of Russian life.

While the Kremlin insists that public unity remains strong, new internal data suggests a very different picture behind closed doors.

dagens.com/war/secret-kre…

2/
A confidential survey commissioned by the Kremlin has found that a large majority of Russians are weary of the war and increasingly critical of their living conditions.

The findings, shared with regional officials ahead of the 2026 elections, reveal deep exhaustion across the country.

According to Vot Tak, which cited the study reported by Dialog.ua, more than 80 percent of respondents said they felt tired of what Moscow still calls its “special military operation.”

In the data presented by Alexander Kharichev, head of the Presidential Directorate for Monitoring and Analysis of Social Processes, 56 percent of Russians described themselves as “very tired,” and 27 percent as “somewhat tired.”

Compared with last year, those expressing deep fatigue rose by nine points, and partial fatigue by six

3/
"Economic strain deepens"

Sociologists involved in the study noted that public sentiment has worsened since late 2024. They attributed the shift to heavy battlefield losses, inflation, falling wages and new taxes.

“Russians generally assess the current situation extremely negatively,” the report stated.

Researchers said the number of citizens who believe their financial situation has deteriorated is now the highest since the invasion began.

In October 2025, for every person reporting a slight improvement, three said their situation had worsened.
