Details: Thus, at 9 a.m. Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Malyuk, director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau Semyon Krivonos and head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office Oleksandr Klymenko arrived at the President’s Office.

According to UP sources, this was at least the third such meeting in the past two weeks since Mindichgate began.
But this time, the heads of the anti-corruption vertical were also accompanied by Malyuk and Fedorov as negotiators.
Zelenskyi wanted to find an option in which the active phase of searches directed against the head of the OP would not be perceived by international partners as a signal of chaos.
Signals from within the ruling team led to the conclusion that Yermak should be fired.
UP sources claim that a similar position has been reported over the past two weeks by several key figures: technocrat Mykhailo Fedorov, Council Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk, Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal, and even Yermak’s former man Oleg Tatarov, to whom Ali Baba (one of Yermak’s code names) also “cut tasks” with regard to anti-corruption.
After an hour of discussion in Zelenskyi’s office, the heads of NABU and SAP left the government quarter without announcing the suspicion to the head of the OP. And the president took a break to consider the situation.
There was no contact with Yermak himself at that time.
A few hours later, the president made the final decision to release Yermak and called Fedorov to help him prepare a video message in which he was to announce the resignation of the head of the OP.
Direct speech one of the participants in these processes: “It prevailed that this cannot be avoided. And that it is fully supported by everyone – from people’s deputies, security forces, society to key international partners. That this is a statesman’s decision necessary for the country to restart many key institutions and critical processes in the country.”
American partners could also agree with him. As UP knows, for the past six months, the Americans have unsuccessfully tried to hint to Zelensky about Yermak’s replacement in the position of key negotiator.
