War in Ukraine: Zelenskiy's Powerful Top Aide Is Worrying NATO, EU and IMF - Bloomberg

That guy is Ukraine, Zelenskyy is nobody without him.

But now that Ukraine is taking hard peepee

He is ready to let Zelenskyy talk with Putin and break khohol condition

In Pokrovsk direction things look very shity for Ukraine

They managed to get town zhelanne getting into pincer without putting a fight and they losing an settlement in that direction every day

With loss of zhelanne Russian will go south to komysheivka this move would let Russian pull soldiers from other side of river and force Ukrainian lose their fortified position. This move will also shorten the front for Russian since it's easier to defend from inner circle than from

Outside one. So this will just create a lot more problems for Ukrainian.

Nobody expected that this summer Russia would seriously move to Pokrovsk and Ukrainian were just focusing in not letting Russian capture chesiv yar but they now don't give a shit about it

ISW is also on coping mode

Russian progress won't continue indefinitely

Like homosexual you were telling this during last days of avdiivka

Khohols fresher soldiers and prepared defence positions seems to be very fresh

Back to leader of khoholstan

Zelenskiy is pushing to convene the second summit before the US elections in November with Russia potentially present at the table. The efforts come as Ukraine and its western allies fret about Donald Trump's return as president amid growing fatigue and lack of major breakthroughs on the battlefield.

"The most important expectation for the second summit is for it to shape major prerequisites for stopping the hostilities," Yermak told Bloomberg in an interview from his office in Kyiv on Wednesday. "We need to end this war as soon as possible to get a just peace."

Yermak said the gathering will be held in a country from the so-called Global South, probably in the Middle East, in a show of the "world's unity" amid Russia's attempts to divide it.

So far, the signs are not promising. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba during a visit in Beijing last month that the time was "not yet ripe" for peace talks to end the war with Russia.

Why they lying after that talk China banned selling its drones to khohols:

Big victory + Russia already told they ain't going to go to such peace talk and Saudis didn't gave permission for it

As Russia's assault stretches deep into its third year, some of Ukraine's international backers are growing concerned about just how much decision making is concentrated in the hands of 52-year-old Yermak, a one-time film producer, who has become the sole gatekeeper to the president with a direct say in everything from foreign policy to military planning.

"I'm not involved in every job, I'm only coordinating," Yermak said in an interview at his office in Kyiv on Wednesday. "Yes, I'm very proud that the president asks my opinion, but he asks for my opinion because I get results

Great result Ukraine is today more corrupt and weaker than in 2022

Ukraine is struggling to fend off a renewed Russian offensive and bracing for the next winter with its energy infrastructure in tatters, while the US election and the possibility of Donald Trump's return to the White House pose questions over how long Kyiv will be able to count on the support of its allies. The president himself is also vulnerable to accusations that he lacks legitimacy — his term would have ended on May 20 had martial law not postponed an election

Bloomberg stop you very Chudy

The idea that Zelenskiy lacks a proper mandate to lead the Ukrainian war effort is a talking point pushed by his enemies in the Kremlin. But like most of the best propaganda, it taps into real questions over how viable it is to suspend the normal democratic process over the long run, especially with signs of frustrations with the government starting to emerge.

Yermak isn't one to operate in the shadows of power and — at six feet, three inches (190 centimeters) — he towers over Zelenskiy. His social media profile is replete with one-on-one images of Yermak with Pope Francis, French President Emmanuel Macron and others — often with his boss nowhere in sight.

A June 7 post on his Telegram channel showed Yermak shaking hands with US President Joe Biden, while Zelenskiy nearby greeted Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin — a protocol reversal that triggered wry commentary in Kyiv.

The personnel moves attributed to Yermak have raised concern that any further tightening among Zelenskiy and his inner circle could sap energy for badly needed reforms — even measures to fight corruption and bolster the rule of law, according to people familiar with assessments in Western capitals.

But Yermak's mandate is broader than that of any of his predecessors. He's been central in every key wartime decision: replacing Zelenskiy's top general, sourcing weapons supplies, negotiating security guarantees, overseeing prisoner swaps and — at the Swiss summit — winning over the Global South to Kyiv's cause.

Some officials have compared his role to a chief executive officer, with Zelenskiy acting as chairman.

The reason why some khohol politicians snitching Yermak like this because if they get rid of him Zelenskyy is nothing so they can frick him easily

Allies have been watching closely. The replacement of Ukraine's popular top general, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, in February raised hackles in NATO capitals over a shakeup just as Kyiv confronted a fresh Russian offensive.

In May, Yermak was instrumental in the removal of Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov, an official who once had a direct line to Zelenskiy and was close to the Biden administration, according to people familiar with the ouster.

The presidential office failed to adequately explain the departure among other personnel changes, leaving foreign governments to puzzle over the move, the people said.

So democrats are pissed at him

Zelenskiy's trust for Yermak was on par with that of his wife, Olena Zelenska. Yermak even used to join the couple on overseas holidays before the war, they said.

"Russia is not motivated," Yermak told journ*lists on a conference call. "In the end, victory is on the side of people who are motivated."

I never seen western media owning Zelenskyy this hard
