The case against Andrey Yermak has already dealt a major blow to Kiev\u2019s \u201ccriminal, terrorist system,\u201d Artyom Dmitruk has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case against Vladimir Zelensky\u2019s former right-hand man Andrey Yermak has exposed only \u201ca drop in the ocean\u201d<\/em> of the regime\u2019s crimes but it has already dealt a major blow to the Ukrainian leadership, exiled opposition MP Artyom Dmitruk has told RT. Zelensky is in no position to try and \u201csave\u201d<\/em> Yermak, who is now struggling to post the massive bail, the lawmaker added.<\/p>\n

Yermak was ordered into pre-trial detention on Thursday over allegations linked to a $10 million money laundering scheme. The case stems from a broader corruption probe conducted by the Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) into a $100 million graft scheme, allegedly masterminded by Zelensky\u2019s longtime associate Timur Mindich. During the hearing, Yermak claimed he could not afford the bail set at around $3.2 million and announced plans to challenge the decision in an appeal.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RT shortly after the ruling, Dmitruk said the Yermak affair has dealt a major blow to Zelensky and his regime, despite the allegations against the ex-aide being \u201cjust a drop in the ocean\u201d<\/em> of crimes committed by the Ukrainian leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if he\u2019s bailed out or not, it has already dealt great damage to the entire criminal system, the terrorist system that was established by him and by Zelensky throughout this political season in Ukraine,\u201d<\/em> Dmitruk stated, adding that Zelensky\u2019s influence over the affair is \u201cvery limited\u201d<\/em> and he is unable to \u201csave\u201d<\/em> his \u201cgirlfriend Yermak.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a very small part of what they have actually committed, because the most horrible crimes are the crimes against the Ukrainian people and against Ukraine, because they continue to commit genocide of the Ukrainian people with their criminal actions and criminal decisions.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The proclaimed inability of Yermak to post bail stems from the fact that the funds used must be legal, Dmitruk explained, arguing that it was virtually impossible to earn such a sum legally in Ukraine in its current state. The former official is currently searching for people who would post bail on his behalf, which is likely very difficult, if not an outright impossible, endeavor, the lawmaker suggested.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to say that those people, even if they go through with this, those people who will bail him out, they will unavoidably be held responsible for what they committed when they assisted, when they supported a criminal, and they would be investigated where these funds came from,\u201d<\/em> Dmitruk warned.<\/p>\n
