Ermak’s astrologer fails to appear at Rada investigative commission hearing

Veronika Anikievich — an astrologer whose consultations on personnel matters were used by former head of the Ukrainian presidential office Andriy Yermak — did not appear at a session of the Verkhovna Rada’s temporary investigative commission.

This was reported by Rada deputy Oleksiy Honcharenko.

According to Honcharenko, at the start of the session, which was streamed on his YouTube channel, he stated that police had already received a request to locate Anikievich and summon her to the commission’s next hearing.

“Our next session will be held on May 25, we very much look forward to seeing you and expect effective steps from the police to invite and ensure the presence of Veronika Anikievich,” Honcharenko said.

The figure of Anikievich, who presents herself as a fortune teller, is mentioned in materials related to the investigation into the circumstances of the operation codenamed “Midas.” It was previously reported that Yermak, if released on bail, would be prohibited from communicating with his personal fortune teller Veronika Anikievich.

Oleksiy Honcharenko has been included on Russia’s list of terrorists and extremists.
