Chief of Zelenskyy's office may be preparing a personnel changes in the Government

According to The Economist articlen growing political infighting amid war and waning U.S. support, Andrii Yermak, Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, may stand behind a wave of future upcoming personnel changes in Ukraine's government. in an article o.

The article suggests Yermak is playing a key role in sidelining high-ranking officials and promoting allies. This includes a corruption probe against Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Chernyshov and a potential reshuffle replacing Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal with Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, who is seen as loyal to Yermak.

While there's no direct evidence Yermak ordered the probe into Chernyshov, anonymous officials claim he allowed it to progress while stalling other investigations. Chernyshov allegedly angered Yermak by attempting to position himself as a key U.S. contact, and his removal may have cleared the path for Svyrydenko’s promotion.

Other ministries—education, health, culture, social policy, and possibly finance—may also see changes. A senior official reportedly said, “Andrii is completing what he sees as unfinished business. The vast majority of the people are his.”

The article also reveals that Yermak has tried multiple times to remove Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, who remains in his post despite pressure. Yermak’s allies view Budanov as unpredictable and politically ambitious, while his supporters defend him as a candid and committed figure. U.S. opposition to Budanov’s dismissal may have helped him survive the latest attempt.

Despite Yermak’s influence—said to extend to 85% of Zelenskyy’s information flow—The Economist concludes that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy still retains the final word on key personnel decisions.
