Oleksandr Kamyshin, an advisor to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on strategic issues, has confirmed that he keeps in touch with Andrii Yermak, the former head of the President's Office, and meets up with him, but says he cannot recall what they talk about, though he insists it's nothing to do with defence.

Yermak left the building in central Kyiv shortly afterwards.

In a comment to Ukrainska Pravda, Kamyshin said he may have visited Yermak's office, but he could not remember what they talked about.

He said the issues did not relate to the defence sector or to unfulfilled contracts.

Asked whether he continues to associate with Yermak, Kamyshin said he did.

Quote from Kamyshin: "Of course. He worked as head of the Office [of the President of Ukraine] for a very long time, so of course there are some issues we continue to discuss."

More details: Kamyshin also could not recall how many times he has been in contact with Yermak since he stepped down.
