After the resignation of the head of the OP, his advisers and assistants were dismissed, while several key figures were transferred to other positions

The Presidential Office confirmed that after Andriy Yermak was dismissed from the post of the head of the Presidential Office, his assistants and advisers were also dismissed. At the same time, Serhiy Leshchenko, Mykhailo Podoliak and Oleksandr Bevz will continue to work in the Presidential Office in other positions.

The Presidential Office explained that this practice is standard. After the change of the head, his team is also dismissed. At the same time, they noted that Leshchenko and Podolyak, as well as Bevz, who is involved in the negotiation process, were transferred to other functional areas.

We will remind, earlier the President also removed Andriy Yermak from the National Security and Defence Council and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff. The personnel decisions were part of a broader change in the management team at Bankova Street at the end of 2025. Source: Urinform.
