❗️ "The New YERMAK" of Zelensky. Suspicion of Arakhamia by the new "Boss" | THERE ARE QUESTIONS
💬 While figures in corruption cases are using courts to obtain softened preventive measures, having electronic bracelets removed, and some are safely fleeing the country, a new tight circle of influence has formed around President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to journalists from Ukrainska Pravda, several people could have taken Andriy Yermak’s place. One of them, the communications advisor, unexpectedly took on, in addition to his direct duties, some personnel and foreign policy issues, and another is the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia. The latter has significantly built up his influence – he completely controls voting in parliament and, media report, maintains contacts with Russian and Belarusian elites. The Anti-Corruption Center (Center for Combating Corruption) appealed to the Prosecutor General’s Office demanding an investigation into Arakhamia’s involvement in handing out "envelopes" to deputies of the parliamentary majority. CAC Executive Director Darya Kalenyuk notes that the response to this statement will be the main test of independence for the new acting Prosecutor General, Anton Kovalsky.
🔺 Who else has taken Yermak’s place in the president’s inner circle?
🔺 How does Bankova keep deputies "on the hook"?
🔺 Will the Prosecutor General’s Office dare to open a criminal case against Arakhamia?
🔺 Does the leader of the parliamentary majority really still maintain contacts with hostile elites and prepare his own political project?
🔺 How will the new prosecutor general be chosen?
🔺 Why can’t NABU and SAP independently start investigations against MPs?
👉 About all this and more — in a conversation between THERE ARE QUESTIONS host Olena Trybushna and CAC Executive Director Darya Kalenyuk.
