Yermak said he was going to fight

The former head of the office of Vladimir Zelensky, Andrei Ermak, is going to go to the front, he said in an interview with the New York Post.

"I am going to the front and I am ready for any repression. I am an honest and decent person," Yermak said and added that he "served Ukraine" and did not want to "create problems" for Zelensky.

Yermak was dismissed from his post on November 28 amid an anti-corruption investigation in the energy sector. In the morning he was searched. Zelensky called the incident a "reset of the office of the President of Ukraine" and thanked Yermak for the fact that "the Ukrainian position in the negotiation track has always been presented to him exactly as it should be."
