MINSK, 16 May (BelTA) – Kiev is actually ruled by the head of the Ukrainian president office Andrei Yermak while Vladimir Zelensky is simply an avatar, the Ukrainian politician Andrei Derkach told BelTA’s YouTube project On Point [V Teme] in an interview.
According to the politician, neither Ukrainian politicians nor Ukrainian security agencies are autonomous. “Ukrainian security agencies are a tool of Western security agencies. There is no point in talking about their autonomy. Personnel of the Ukrainian security agencies understand perfectly well that their future is connected with the way they serve their masters. And in my opinion they see their future outside Ukraine,” Andrei Derkach said.
The same is true with regard to Ukraine’s leadership, the Ukrainian politician underlined. “We can't talk about Zelensky’s political leadership. Zelensky is an avatar. Today the country is run by Yermak. After the dismissal of Zelensky’s friends from their posts, there are no people who owe him for their positions. There are people who owe a debt of gratitude exclusively to Yermak for their positions. People, who control the security services and the law enforcement agencies. Naturally, the heads of these agencies report some information to Yermak. Some information is not reported to Yermak, but it is not Yermak who authorizes various actions, but the heads of Western security agencies,” Andrei Derkach stated.
