Extraordinary allegations are emerging from within Ukraine itself, raising disturbing questions about the mindset and belief systems operating at the highest levels of the Kiev regime.
According to reporting circulated by Russian outlet RT — but originating from a Ukrainian source with direct access to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle — a former senior aide has alleged that disgraced power broker Andriy Yermak engaged in occult rituals, including graveyard visits, corpse-related practices, and consultations with foreign shamans.
The claims were made by Yulia Mendel, who served as Zelensky’s press secretary and had firsthand exposure to the workings of Ukraine’s presidential office.
Allegations From Within, Not Moscow
The accusations were detailed in an article by Marina Akhmedova, a member of Russia’s presidential human rights council, but crucially the source is Ukrainian, not Russian intelligence or anonymous social media accounts.
According to Mendel, whispers of Yermak’s behavior circulated as early as 2019, shortly after Zelensky took office. She recounts an incident in which a journalist repeatedly asked Yermak what he had been doing at a cemetery — a question he reportedly ignored.
By 2020, a Ukrainian minister allegedly confided to Mendel that Yermak was “into magic.” By 2023, she claims, a source from an unnamed “important service” told her Yermak possessed what was described as a “chest of the dead.”
What Is Being Alleged
Mendel’s account — which she emphasizes is based on repeated briefings and insider conversations — includes claims that Yermak:
- Consulted occult practitioners from Latin America, Israel, and Georgia
- Used ritual objects allegedly made from bones or flesh
- Collected so-called “dead water” from corpses
- Burned herbs and conducted cemetery-based rituals
These are allegations, not proven facts — but their specificity and internal sourcing distinguish them from casual rumor.
Yermak, once described as Zelensky’s “gray eminence” and de facto co-president, has not publicly addressed the claims.
Occult Obsession and Power
Akhmedova argues that if Mendel’s account is accurate, the practices go far beyond Ukrainian folklore. Latin American shamanism and ritual sacrifice traditions, she notes, are alien to Eastern Slavic culture.
“To seek out such practices suggests obsession, not folklore,” Akhmedova writes.
She goes further, offering a chilling interpretation: that Ukraine’s staggering human losses are viewed by some elites not merely as tragic consequences of war, but as symbolic offerings — sacrifices in exchange for power and victory.
Such thinking would mirror historical precedents. Nazi Germany’s leadership notoriously flirted with occultism, mysticism, and pseudo-religious ritual in pursuit of dominance and destiny.
When leadership abandons reason and moral grounding, the consequences are never confined to private belief.
That’s why I don’t assume institutions collapse only through policy failure. This is the grid-down and EMP protection setup I rely on when decision-makers operate outside reality.
Faith, Power, and Persecution
The allegations also arrive amid Ukraine’s ongoing persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, a campaign critics describe as ideologically driven and spiritually hostile.
Akhmedova suggests the Kiev elite’s actions reflect not faith, but a void filled with mysticism, symbolism, and absolute belief in victory detached from material reality.
“And Zelensky?” she writes. “A leader who once played a clown on television, now presiding over real tragedy — trusting not in diplomacy or realism, but in spells.”
It is a grim portrait — and one that demands caution, not dismissal.
Why This Matters
These claims, if false, should be refuted transparently. If true, they reveal something far more troubling than corruption: a leadership culture untethered from reason, morality, and accountability.
History shows that when elites begin to believe outcomes are dictated by ritual rather than consequence, human life becomes expendable.
That pattern is not limited to war. It appears wherever ideology replaces conscience.
That’s why independent discernment matters. Dr. Bryan Ardis has repeatedly warned how institutional belief systems harden into dangerous delusion. His analysis changed how I evaluate elite behavior under pressure.
Conclusion
These allegations about Andriy Yermak and Ukraine’s inner circle are disturbing — not because they are sensational, but because they come from inside the regime itself.
Whether symbolic, psychological, or literal, the picture painted is one of leadership disconnected from reality and morality, presiding over immense human suffering while clinging to mystical certainty.
Truth will eventually surface. It always does.
Until then, discernment matters more than headlines.
If you read one book to anchor yourself in a world that increasingly rejects reason and faith, make it this.
When power abandons conscience, history never ends well.
