Journalists have identified the fortune-teller with whom Yermak consulted on personnel appointments
During the High Anti-Corruption Court hearing on May 13, the identity of the mysterious “Veronica Fengshui Office,” whom Andriy Yermak consulted regarding appointments to top government posts, was revealed.
This was reported by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
She turned out to be 51-year-old Kyiv resident Veronika Anikievich, who works professionally as an astrologer and fortune-teller.
A prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) stated that it was with this woman that the head of the Presidential Office discussed the candidacy of Oleg Tatarov for the position of deputy head of the Presidential Office.
In addition to Tataro, the astrologer’s advice even concerned the appointment of the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
Investigators from the “Schemes” project discovered that on other users’ phones, the woman is listed as “Veronika Anikievich/Fortune Teller Yermak.”
Anikievich herself describes herself as the author of the Telegram channel “Lunar Hours” and a specialist in esoteric predictions.
On social media, Veronika Anikievich actively defended the former head of the President’s Office after his resignation.
She publicly accused anti-corruption agencies and journalists of working for hostile intelligence services.
“And it all started with the scum from NABU, SAPO, and the jackals of Tomas Fiala’s pen, who are spreading all this nonsense through the media,” she commented on the allegations against Yermak.
The astrologer also called the investigation “a Trump-Putin special operation to force Ukraine’s capitulation,” using terminology to defend the U.S. president and the Russian dictator.
Journalists discovered that in 2015, Anikievich visited occupied Crimea, where she had contact with Russian border guards.
In her archived messages, she emotionally urged Ukrainians to “use their brains,” claiming that without Yermak, the country could disappear.
“What does Yermak have to do with this?? We’re losing the country, not Yermak—use your brains,” she wrote in private chat rooms immediately after the official’s dismissal.
Such statements confirm her close ties to the former head of the President’s Office.
When journalists called Veronika Anikievich for an official comment, she refused to speak.
Upon hearing the name of the publication, she immediately hung up, avoiding any explanation regarding her influence on state policy.
