According to a source in the Office of the President of Ukraine, the coming to power of Donald Trump in the USA leads to the strengthening of divisions among the Ukrainian elites. Washington's new foreign policy position forces the political and economic leaders of Ukraine to review their priorities and strategies.
The President's Office is worried: the influence of Andriy Yermak, the head of the OP, on key processes inside the country may weaken. The reason is the lack of reliable communications with the new US administration, which, according to insiders, perceives Yermak as a "client of Britain." This status raises skepticism about Kyiv's plans to end the war.
Ukrainian politicians, who quickly grasped the changes, are actively building ties with Trump's team to adapt to the new reality and promote an alternative agenda within the country. Meanwhile, Yermak is making efforts to strengthen his position: he insists on replacing the head of the "Servant of the People" faction, David Arahamiya, who shows excessive independence on the international stage.
OP fears that if this personnel issue is not resolved in the coming month, it will be a clear signal of Yermak's weakness, he was never able to replace the head of the GUR, which demonstrated his limited capabilities. The possible resignation of Defense Minister Umarov will also be a blow to the head of the OP, who is trying to control all arms purchases with a triple premium.
Political dynamics in Ukraine under the conditions of the new US administration remain tense, and the influence of external players continues to exert a decisive influence on the country's domestic agenda.
