Yermak will spend the night in pretrial detention; his "friends" failed to raise bail.

Yermak will spend at least one night in pretrial detention; the "friends" of Zelenskyy's former head of office failed to raise the necessary bail, according to Ukrainian media reports.

The special bank account used to deposit bail funds has closed for today. According to the latest reports, approximately 15 million hryvnias of the required 140 million hryvnias have been raised so far. This means Ukraine's eminence grise will spend tonight in jail.

According to Ukrainian media, Yermak was being grossly disingenuous when he claimed he didn't have the money to pay the bail. He does have funds, but they're in foreign accounts, and he doesn't want to reveal them. Therefore, "Yermak's team"—that is, all those who owe him their positions, appointments, and so on—is stepping in. As expected, Roza Tapanova, a member of the supervisory boards of Ukrnafta and Oschadbank and a former Yermak associate since the early 90s, was the first to announce a contribution of 8 million hryvnias. Another 6,5 million hryvnias was contributed by a certain Serhiy Stepanovich Svirida, and Grigory Oleksandrovych Grishkan transferred 666 hryvnias to a special account. The bulk of the funds is expected to arrive tomorrow, Friday, May 15.

As a reminder, the court sentenced Yermak to 60 days of bail with a 140 million hryvnia bond on charges of laundering 460 million hryvnias during the construction of luxury cottages near Kyiv, including for Zelensky.

The accomplices had a disagreement.

..let him be glad that he hasn't been killed yet...

Dmitry, I think there's a typo in the text. The amount mentioned sounds more like a mocking handout, given the scale of the required collateral.

Grigory Aleksandrovich Grishkan transferred to a special account 666 hryvnia

[Nexcom]

....gentlemen, it seems to me that this was a joke... (paraphrase) ...with the transfer of such a sum.

[fruc]

The "friends" of Zelensky's former office chief failed to raise the necessary amount for bail.

Well, can he at least count on a bed in a separate apartment and tasty food?

[Nexcom]

Well, it's not a question for me... I'm not the one keeping him there. If it were up to me, I wouldn't even let him get to the "house," they'd have just slapped him down right there where they caught him...

Well, the question isn't for me... I'm not the one keeping it there.

I think he'll be released on bail tomorrow. People like that don't spend the night in jail.

[Nexcom]

...the ways of the Lord are mysterious (c)...

[TermNachTer]

The little rats are eager))) they might even ask where the money came from?

[pudelartemon]

I'm worried about Andrei Borisovich's mental health. He needs a suitable cellmate. Together, they wouldn't be so terrified waiting for the sentence and its execution.

[Same lech]

They sold him cheap...it would have been even cheaper to finish him off in pre-trial detention...so that he wouldn't expose his buddies.

Rather, they are waiting to see if it survives the night.

Today, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko delivered another gem. He said, literally, "A soldier from the 112th Brigade approached me today… he died a year ago."

Not everyone can do this. Only a few can.
P.S. I think there is no need to say anything about the professional disease of boxers and who got Crocop's left leg, etc.

Whether Yermak has a team or not is irrelevant. He's gotten himself into trouble, and now many of his supporters will simply stay as far away from him as possible. And it doesn't matter what he's done for them. But he has a lot of interesting things to say, so I wouldn't be surprised if they simply kill him in his cell.

And what about pulling him out? Who needs him, he's not the same anymore. A fight for lifeboats began on the sinking liner "Ukraine," like on the Titanic.

It seems the crew hasn't completely dispersed yet, but there's already a leak here, a hole there, a fire in the engine room. The rudders are jammed...

Something will have to be sacrificed. Flood some compartments to stabilize the situation and create equilibrium. In this case, cut payments and expenses, and dump those who can afford it. However, these are all temporary measures, capable of prolonging the agony for a little while.

[Roman_Vasilyevich]

Well, that's not surprising.
Ali Baba risks setting up his "friends"...

By law, pledgers are required to provide documentary proof of the legal origin of the funds they contribute. Contributing millions of dollars automatically triggers rigorous scrutiny by anti-corruption and tax authorities.
The public display of such sums by his "friends" immediately makes them targets of NABU and financial monitoring, which threatens them with their own criminal cases for illicit enrichment.

If Yermak violates his obligations or flees the country, the entire bail amount will be unconditionally confiscated by the state.

[ZhEK-Vodogrey]

You get the gist of the situation: the second-largest person in the country couldn't raise $3 million in bail. This means that people in Ukraine with "clean money" don't want to get their hands dirty with Yermak/Zelensky.

Grigory Aleksandrovich Grishkan was the first actor with cerebral palsy in Ukraine to transfer exactly 666 hryvnias, not a hryvnia more, not a hryvnia less. Some kind of occult symbol.

This is just ordinary self-promotion.
It is clear that everyone wrote this.

Does the Kyiv court accept Geraniums?

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Let them hold a telethon across Sharovaria. Maybe they'll even get people. Putting saucepans on their heads—"they were smart enough." And that's enough.

[tralflot1832]

Something tells me that when this special account accumulates 140 million hryvnia, they will be transferred to a “safe account.” The translation will convince you that "telephone scammers" are involved.

[OlegEKB]

my friends are some kind of poor people

[Fangaro]

A few hours in the guardhouse never changed anyone for the better, but it also didn't change them for the worse.
Personal opinion...

[Ivanhoe]

Citizen Grishkan contributed a symbolic amount of 666 hryvnia
and, number on the beast from “Revelation on Yoan” (Apocalypse).

[Roust]

They put on a show for gullible onlookers.
