Details: Zelenskyy reported that Yermak has submitted his resignation and that the President's Office is preparing for a reboot.

Quote: "I am grateful to Andrii for ensuring that Ukraine's position in the negotiation process was always presented as it should be. It was always a patriotic position. But I want to avoid any rumours and speculation.

As regards the new head of the Office, tomorrow I will hold consultations with those who could lead this institution.

There will be talks soon, and our representatives will take part: the chief of the General Staff, representatives of the Foreign Ministry, the secretary of the National Security and Defence Council and our intelligence service. And when we all face such an external challenge – the war – we must remain strong within our own country. One hundred per cent of our strength must be focused on defending Ukraine. Everyone must act now in the interests of our state and defend our state. This principle is unchanging. Meetings with the American side will take place very soon."

Updated: The decree dismissing Yermak has been published on the president's website.
