Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, has been actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to address the ongoing conflict with Russia. In a recent online meeting, Yermak coordinated with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ukrainian Association of Football to prevent Russia’s national team from participating in the FIFA World Cup. He also emphasized the importance of negotiations during the Copenhagen Democracy Summit 2025, warning that if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses negotiations in Türkiye, it will signal a lack of intent to end the war.
