Concerns Over Ukraine's Democracy
A potential threat to Ukraine's democracy is emerging from within, primarily due to the actions of Andriy Yermak, the chief of staff and right-hand man to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Since Russia's invasion in February 2022, Yermak has accumulated significant power, rivaling that of President Zelensky. He has been instrumental in controlling the flow of information between Kiev's leadership and Western capitals regarding the war.
Yermak's influence extends to pushing a hardline negotiating stance, which many analysts believe is counterproductive. Furthermore, he has been sidelining ministers in an effort to dominate Ukraine's diplomatic channels.
Policy on Russia–Ukraine seems to vacillate depending on which foreign leader President Donald Trump lately deems the biggest irritant and obstacle to peace.
It is suggested that Trump should also focus on Yermak, given his substantial influence within the Zelensky government.
Author's summary: Andriy Yermak's actions pose a threat to Ukraine's democracy.
