Between the current head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, and his predecessor, Andriy Bogdan, a mutual antipathy arose from the moment they met. Bogdan himself stated this in an interview with the founder of the Internet edition “GORDON” Dmitry Gordon.
When asked by a reporter what impression Yermak made on him at the first meeting, Bogdan replied that he did not like “men with feline habits.”
“Somehow we don’t like each other right away. I don’t like people, men, with feline habits. There is an association with animals in people, I have that association,” Bogdan said.
To the question “how did Andrei Yermak appear in Vladimir Zelensky’s team?” Bogdan replied that he had not seen him at the electoral campaign stage.
“As far as I know, this is an old friend of his. So Vladimir Alexandrovich introduced me to who he is. But he did not appear, he did not exist in the team during the elections, he already appeared in the Office of the President,” emphasized Bogdan.
“Saying goodbye, Zelensky said,” You are like an unloved woman. “Full text of interview with Bogdan Gordon
