Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak did not leave Kyiv when the war broke out in Ukraine on February 24.
Moreover, he was constantly with President Volodymyr Zelensky. In addition, like the head of state, he did not want to be evacuated outside the capital.
Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the President’s Office, said this in an interview with Natalia Moseychuk.
He stressed that Yermak is the inner circle of President Zelensky.
“He (Yermak – Ed.) was also against the evacuation. Yermak’s parents stayed in Kyiv. He didn’t even take them out. I stayed to take out their families. There was another episode when people left and returned, when the archives were taken out,” Arestovich said.
In addition, in a conversation, Yermak’s adviser told an interesting story: “Yermak could not put on a bulletproof vest, because he did not fit on it. Therefore, he said that he would be with a machine gun, but without a bulletproof vest.”
As reported, Oleksiy Arestovich told why Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not board an American plane and leave Ukraine when the Russian Federation attacked our state in full.
