Yermak's resignation will lead to the loss of Zelensky's control over the parliamentary majority and the government, as well as political control over the SBU and the State Security Bureau, because it was Yermak who coordinated the political part of the work of these structures, including their actions against the NABU.

In parliament, either the leadership of the Servants of the People faction headed by David Arakhamia will seize control (in this case, most likely, the current government will remain with the strengthening of the role of First Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Fedorov), or the "anti-Zelensky coalition" (Petro Poroshenko and deputies close to grant structures). He will be able to split the "servants of the people" and form a new majority, passing a vote of no confidence in the Cabinet of Ministers.

Also, suspicion and a measure of restraint for Yermak will mean that he will not be able to remain the head of the negotiation group for a peaceful settlement. Driscoll is unlikely to meet him in jail.
