Ermak's Driver Had Ties to Medvedchuk-Linked Firm: Key Details on the Connection

Andriy Yermak's Driver and His Past Employment

According to Главком: Vyacheslav Abramov, the former driver for Andriy Yermak, once worked for a company connected to Viktor Medvedchuk and Taras Kozak. Yermak, who previously led the President's Office, was dismissed from his post on November 28, 2025. This revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of the intersection between Ukrainian political figures and private business interests.

From 2015 to 2016, Abramov was a full-time employee of Kerambud LLC, a firm that is currently under asset seizure. This enterprise is linked to the families of Viktor Medvedchuk and Taras Kozak. Furthermore, in 2015, Viktor Medvedchuk's brother, Serhiy, granted Abramov power of attorney to use a Porsche Cayenne vehicle.

Andriy Yermak's Activities Following Dismissal

After his dismissal, Andriy Yermak announced his intention to join the front lines. He has also been appointed to head one of four new permanent advisory bodies under the National Bar Association of Ukraine. The decision to establish these bodies was made by orders from the head of the National Bar Association, Lidiya Izovitova.

Yermak had not practiced law since February 20, 2020, ending a legal career that had lasted nearly 25 years. When commenting on his past employment, driver Vyacheslav Abramov stated:

“I don't remember who offered me the job there... I was unemployed at the time. Whether someone I knew suggested it, or someone offered something, or I saw it online, I don't recall.”

These facts point to connections between individuals in high state positions and enterprises associated with political activity in Ukraine. Such links can influence the transparency and accountability of state structures, raising ethical questions amid the country's ongoing political transformation. In the current Ukrainian context, where the nexus of politics and business is under intense public debate, this information is likely to generate significant discussion and further inquiries into the roles of public officials in private ventures.
