Zelenskyy tells who will represent Ukraine at talks instead of Yermak

After the resignation of the head of the President's Office, Andrii Yermak, Ukraine will be represented at the talks by Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov, NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and intelligence. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced this in an evening address.

"Soon there will be negotiations (with the American side - ed.), our representatives will be there - the Chief of the General Staff, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and our intelligence. And when we all have such an external challenge - the war - we must be strong inside," Zelenskyy said.

He added that one hundred percent of the forces will be focused on the defense of Ukraine.

"Everyone must now act in this way, in the interests of our state, and protect our state. This is an unchanging principle. In the near future, meetings with the American side will be held," the President summarized.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in the evening of November 28, Andrii Yermak wrote a letter of resignation from the post of the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.

And in the morning, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office reported that they were conducting searches at Yermak's place.
