MOSCOW:  Vladimir Zelensky, at a meeting with lawmakers from the ruling Servant of the People party, refused to dismiss head of his office Andrey Yermak amid a corruption scandal, several deputies reported.

"As I said, they are not even thinking of dismissing Yermak," Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a Golos party representative, wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to lawmaker Alexey Goncharenko (listed as a terrorist and extremist by Russia's Federal Service for Financial Monitoring), Zelensky said at a meeting with the faction that "no one is going anywhere." In addition, a source in the Servant of the People party told the Obschestvennoye news outlet following a meeting with Zelensky that Yermak will retain his post.
