Suspilne, citing sources in the Office of the president stated that Yermak will not be dismissed. A media interlocutor in the SN said that the Cabinet of Ministers would not resign either.

Subsequently, Zelenskyy himself commented meeting with the faction in his evening address: "There were different issues, there were sensitive issues. But the agreement is obvious – everyone has to work for Ukraine, and it will be so. A wartime parliament must be a capable parliament."

• The next day, some of the "servants" called for the creation of a coalition of national stability and a new government, but the head of the SN in Rada Arakhamia said that this is not a position of the faction or party.
