Ukrainian media reported on Zelensky's role in raising money for Ermak's bail

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, organized a bail collection for the former head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andrei Ermak, after he was taken into custody. This was reported on May 19 by the Ukrainian edition "Страна.иа ".

"Zelensky made a lot of efforts to organize a fundraiser for the release of his colleague," the publication says on the Telegram channel.

It is clarified that Zelensky would under no circumstances take responsibility for posting bail for the former head of the OP, so as not to focus on their relationship, given the latter's status as a person involved in criminal prosecution. According to the publication, without the help of the Ukrainian president, funds for Yermak's release from jail could still be sought.

Yermak was charged with corruption on May 12. Shortly after, a court in Ukraine decided to take him into custody. At the same time, the former head of the office of the Ukrainian president clarified that his lawyers would appeal the court's decision as soon as possible.
