The chief of staff of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenski, Andrei Jermak, was clearly shaken up after U.S. president Donald Trump publically rejected Kiev's presentation of advancement on the proposed peace plan with Russia, reported on Tuesday "New York Post".
Jermak was in the mediate of an interview for the portal erstwhile Trump published on fact Social that he did not consider the proposal discussed last week in Geneva to be final.According to reports, Jermak spent the erstwhile 30 minutes presenting the paper as an almost completed joint action plan of Trump and Zelenski, which could be signed on Thanksgiving.“After reading the full entry, Jermak scrapped a mine, seemingly devastated by this message” – wrote "New York Post".
When asked to comment, he reportedly asked for 24 hours "to measure the fresh reality".Trump announced that he would send the Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to proceed talking to Kiev, and peculiar Envoy Steve Witkoff will contact Moscow.
The president added that he would meet both Russian president Vladimir Putin and Zelenski "soon, but ONLY if the agreement ending this war is in the final or final phase."Earlier reports suggested that Jermak is profoundly unpopular among many people around Trump and with a wider group of American political establishment.
The origin quoted by Politico in July described it as ‘two-party iritator’.In Ukraine, Jermak has long been accused of exerting inappropriate influence on Zelenski and national politics.
Following the fresh prosecution of a long-standing associate of Zelenski, Timur Mindich, of moving a $100 million corruption, respective commentators cast Jermak's leading function in this net and called for its removal.
Last week, Witkoff reportedly cancelled his scheduled gathering with Jermak erstwhile he learned of the scale of the corruption scandal in Kiev.
