Background:
- On 28 November 2025, Ukrainska Pravda reported that detectives from NABU and prosecutors from SAPO had conducted searches at Yermak's residence in the government quarter. Yermak confirmed the searches and said he was willing to cooperate with the investigation.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later announced Yermak's resignation. On 2 January, Zelenskyy appointed Defence Intelligence head Kyrylo Budanov as head of the Office.
- Yermak later declared that he would go to the front line after resigning amid a corruption scandal and the investigative actions by NABU at his residence.
- Yermak has been appointed chair of a committee set up on his initiative within the National Bar Association of Ukraine (NBAU) to focus on the protection of victims of armed aggression against Ukraine, compensation mechanisms, and legal support for European integration and reconstruction.
- Following this, a committee at the National Bar Association launched the Lawyer+ project. The association said Yermak, working with other lawyers, had already travelled to provide legal advice to units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the combat zone.
