#Odesa is on fire, #Russian drones are hitting civilian targets in the city, and there are casualties – #Yermak
Horrifying photos and videos from #Odesa, which is simply ablaze, just like #Kropyvnytskyi burned yesterday, are being published online.
The #CPD noted that #Russian terrorists have changed their #UAV attack tactics.
"Russia is now using Shahed drones with an increased warhead of up to 90 kg and metal elements (shrapnel) to increase the number of civilian casualties"
- Andriy #Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine
Peace talks with Russia only possible when Moscow runs out of resources
“Only the strong are helped, so we must remain strong,” Yermak said
Real negotiations for lasting #peace will begin only when the enemy no longer has resources to continue the war
#Yermak warned any #concessions to #Russia would allow it to replenish its army & launch new offensive in future
If Russia is not forced to make a just peace, there will be no peace
#Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (#HUR) was left out of the loop on the #Kursk offensive due to a “conflict” between its head, Kyrylo #Budanov, and Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr #Syrskyi, Forbes Ukraine reported.
Sources also indicate that Budanov's relationship with Andriy #Yermak, head of the President's Office, is strained. Yermak is reportedly annoyed by Budanov's outsized media presence and predictions on how the war will continue to unfold.
Andriy #Yermak, Head of #Ukraine’s Presidential Office, articulated at the #NATO Public Forum that altering the frontline dynamics hinges on “partners removing all restrictions on weapon use, including deep within Russian territory.”
He elaborated, stating, “I believe this could be a real game-changer, and I hope our partners will recognize this swiftly.”
#Ukraine plans to ramp up pressure on the #Biden administration during the #NATO Summit this week to lift all restrictions on using American-supplied weapons in Russian territory.
In particular, Ukrainian officials want the Biden administration to allow Kyiv to use longer-range Army Tactical Missile Systems to hit inside #Russia, Andriy #Yermak, top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, told POLITICO in an interview Tuesday.

#Ukraine has launched a new website that contains information on sanctioned companies and individuals responsible for #Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, announced Head of the President’s Office Andrii #Yermak.
The new website now features details on sanctioned entities or individuals, individuals involved in promoting war in the art industry, and foreign components found by Ukraine in weapons Russia uses to attack the country.
The head of the #OfficeOfThePresident has always wielded enormous influence in #Ukraine. Wartime conditions, including #MartialLaw, have concentrated extraordinary authority in the presidential administration, making #Yermak perhaps the most powerful #ChiefOfStaff in the country’s history — virtually indistinguishable from his boss.
#Zelensky’s chief aide flexes power, irks critics — and makes no apologies
