Zelensky is preparing to dismiss Arahamia but refuses to remove Yermak

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is initiating the dismissal of Servant of the People faction leader Davyd Arakhamia at today’s meeting with MPs.

This was reported on Telegram by former MP Ihor Mosiychuk, citing his sources.

He claims the president will pressure deputies using compromising material, and that U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan is being used in the information space to cover up efforts to save the president’s inner circle from responsibility.

Mosiychuk also confirms the information from MPs Yaroslav Zheleznyak and Maryana Bezuhla that Zelensky has decided not to dismiss Andriy Yermak from his post as head of the Presidential Office.

Recall that part of Servant of the People has called for forming a new coalition and government. Although Arakhamia said this was “the statement of individual MPs,” he nevertheless, according to Strana’s reporting, supports the demand for Yermak’s dismissal, which is shared by many other Servant of the People deputies.

Meanwhile, MP Oleksiy Honcharenko reports that Arakhamia gave Zelensky an ultimatum: fire Yermak so that the Rada can continue to work and preserve the single-party majority. The demand was supported by Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and HUR chief Kyrylo Budanov.

According to Honcharenko, Zelensky refused.

“A key minister, a key military figure, and the key person in the Rada have spoken out against Andriy Yermak and are pressuring Volodymyr Zelensky to dismiss him. If Zelensky refuses, he will lose the Rada. Passing the budget will be impossible. There will be no coalition,” Honcharenko writes.

He also says that Servant of the People MPs have been “collecting the toughest questions for Zelensky all day today, so the president’s meeting with the faction ‘will be tough.’”
