Andriy Yermak, the Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine, has been named to Politico's prestigious list of the most influential people in Europe. He came in second in the "Dreamers" category, a significant recognition of his role in the country's political life and on the international stage. The first place winner in this category will be announced separately later today.
The nomination description states that "Yermak shifted the emphasis from trying to win the war to trying to win the peace.".
The publication writes that Ukrainian activists are against the head of the OP.
“His reputation as a Machiavellian cardinal has earned him the hostility of much of Ukrainian civil society. But it has also positioned him as the person to talk to when you want to talk to Kyiv,” Politico believes.
Trump's reelection was a "serious setback for Yermak." Trump "will try to force Kyiv to make concessions to Putin," and now Yermak is "determined to limit the scope of these concessions and ensure that his country remains united.".
