Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met on the New Year surrounded by senior officials, among whom were not two deputy heads of the President’s Office: Oleg Tatarov and Igor Zhovkva. The figure of Tatarov has become “too toxic” for Zelensky and the head of the OP Andrei Yermak, Tatarov will try to be dismissed from the Office of the President in January.

Clouds are hanging over the deputy head of the office of the President of Ukraine Oleg Tatarov. This opinion was expressed on January 3 on Facebook by journalist and blogger, co-founder of the Ukrainian Institute of the Future Yuriy Romanenko.

“At the end of the year, Tatarov was at the center of the corruption charges that were launched by NABU after the developer’s testimony. [экс-нардепа, главы “Укрбуду”] Maxim Mikatasya. As a result, his figure became too toxic for Zelensky and [главы Офиса президента Андрея] Ermak, they weren’t against getting rid of him. According to my sources at the OP, Tatarov threatened Yermak to merge the nuances of the Wagner case, which he oversaw. Ermak and Zelensky viewed this as blackmail, and in the final weeks of 2020 Tatarov was barred from access to the president, “Romanenko wrote.
In his view, the deepening conflict between NABU and Tatarov carries risks in relation to the victory of Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden in the US presidential elections.
“Obviously, for Zelensky and Yermak, the issue of establishing relations with the new administration in Washington is critically important, and the conflict between NABU and Tatarov will torpedo efforts to build bridges. Therefore, the OP is inclined to fire Tatarov. of the OP under one or the other a plausible excuse to turn away from sin, “summarized Romanenko.
July 29 authorities Belarus denounced the arrest of 33 foreigners, members of a private military company. The Belarusian Security Council declared that a criminal case was opened against the detainees under the article on the preparation of terrorist acts; it was later reported that they were suspected of preparing mass riots.
In an interview with GORDON newspaper founder Dmitry Gordon, which aired on August 6, Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994, said he would extradite the detained militants to Ukraine if Kiev proves their involvement in the crimes in Donbass. . Lukashenko ordered to invite the attorneys general of Russia and Ukraine to the country to investigate the situation with the detained militants. On August 9, he said that since prosecutors did not come to Minsk, it means they “don’t care about these guys.”
On August 12, the office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine approached the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Belarus with requests for the extradition of 28 Wagnerites (nine of them citizens of Ukraine) who actively participated in hostilities in the Donetsk and Lugansk as part of the terrorist organizations “LPR” and “DPR” …
On August 14 it emerged that the Belarusian authorities had extradited the arrested Wagnerites to Russia. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy considered this to be a hostile move by Belarus. In his opinion, the consequences of the release of the mercenaries “will be tragic”.
The editor-in-chief of “Censor.NET”, Yuri Butusov, said on August 18 that the trip of the Wagner PMC fighters to Belarus was part of a special operation of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense and the Defense Service. Ukraine Security: A plane with mercenaries was supposed to land in Ukraine and then stop them. According to Butusov, the special operation failed due to the decision of the head of the President’s Office, Andriy Yermak and Zelensky, to postpone the departure of the militants from Minsk from July 25 to 30, as well as the leak of information from Ukraine.
Oleksandr Turchynov, former secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said that information about a special operation to arrest the Wagnerites reached the special services of Russia and Belarus after a meeting with Zelensky, which they attended, in addition to the heads of special services of Ukraine, the heads of the Office of the President.

The former head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Bogdan, said that the operation to capture Wagner’s PMC mercenaries was foiled by a man “from the closest circle” of Zelensky.
The SBU called this data a “fantastic scenario.” The head of the Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov, said that Wagner’s PMC fighters were transferred to Minsk by Russian special services and that this was not a special operation of the SBU.
Zelensky said there was no “drain” on the special operation to stop the Wagnerites.
Yermak called the version of the SBU’s involvement in the Wagnerites’ appearance in Minsk a disinformation campaign.
