Andrii Yermak, who previously served as the Head of the Office of the President under Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been appointed as the chair of a new committee within the National Bar Association of Ukraine (NBAU). This committee is dedicated to the protection and support of victims who have suffered due to armed aggression against Ukraine. Yermak's initiative aims to create legal pathways for compensation and foster legal support geared towards Ukraine's European integration and post-war reconstruction efforts.

The establishment of this committee signifies a strategic move by the NBAU to address the increasing need for legal frameworks that support war victims. Yermak's professional background, which includes both legal practice and significant roles in public administration, positions him uniquely to lead this initiative. Accompanying him as the deputy chair is lawyer Zhanna Hrushko, who further emphasizes the committee's commitment to blending legal expertise with advocacy.

The announcement reflects Ukraine's ongoing efforts to secure legal mechanisms necessary for protecting victims of the conflict, highlighting the role of the legal community in the nation's recovery and integration into Europe. This initiative may also serve to bolster Ukraine's international standing by demonstrating a commitment to remedying the consequences of war through structured legal and institutional responses.
