🇺🇦 **The End of the Yermak Era: New Power Map in Kyiv** After massive reshuffles in 2026, Zelenskyy no longer has one main ally. Power is distributed among Arakhamia, Umerov, and Budanov. 👉 **Who is who:** 🔹 **Davide Arakhamia:** Controls parliament and domestic policy. Initiator of Fedorov's resignation. 🔹 **Rustem Umerov & Kyrylo Budanov:** Divided influence in the security block and intelligence. 🔹 **Serhiy Koretskyi:** New Prime Minister, appointed personally by the president, not "brought in" by Arakhamia. 💬 *"The president cannot have friends"* — this phrase by Zelenskyy became reality after Yermak's departure. Now everyone is responsible for their own section, and there is no longer a single "vice-president". #Ukraine #Politics #Zelenskyy #Arakhamia #News
