In the court case of the former head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak, the former official's correspondence with a fortune teller, Veronika Anikievich, was read out. In Yermak's contacts, she was listed as “Veronika Fengshui Office.”
This was discussed during the second day of the court session in the Andriy Yermak case. The first took place the day before, on May 12.
What did “Veronica Fengshui Office” correspond with Yermak about?
The correspondence is quite confusing, but it is clear that Veronika is urging Yermak to take more decisive action. She says it will be self-defense, not escalation. She complains that “you are being psychologically tormented, and you are silent.”
The language of her messages is Russian.
I am very angry today, so I apologize in advance for being harsh. But perhaps my harshness will set you on a different wave. It all starts with the words we say to ourselves and others. You have not escalated in recent months, you have endured attacks without responding,
– she answered.
Interesting! On that day, December 24, 2025, a search was conducted at the residence of driver Yermak.

The fortune teller suggests abandoning the “ostrich strategy.” According to her, the situation is “either you or them.”
They want power. If you don't stop them, they will get it. The question is what will you do and where will you be,
– Veronica emphasized.
In response, Yermak listed the names of some media outlets and the names of public figures – “Ukrainian Pravda”, Tomasz Fiala, Mykhailo Tkach, Sevgil Musayeva, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, David Arakhamia, Oleksiy Honcharenko. And indicated that he was “ready for anything”, even tomorrow.
Anikievich wrote:
Now you have a guarantor friend and no serious evidence, after which you have the moral, legal right to destroy them. But if they get power, then they will act more seriously and there will be no guarantor friend and more powers. It will be best if you have time and can go abroad. Think about it.
She later suggested that if Yermak had been able to return to the chair of the head of the OP, he would have acted completely differently.
Please note! The prosecutor's office is requesting that Yermak be taken into custody with the possibility of posting bail in the amount of 180 million hryvnias. But the court will announce its decision on the preventive measure on May 14 at 9 am.
It should be noted that the investigation seized an iPhone 12 belonging to Veronika Anikievich. This phone was separate – it was used only for communication with the contact “Andrei 2025”.
Where did “Veronica Fengshui” come from, who is she?
Radio Liberty journalists found out that Andriy Yermak could have consulted with a woman regarding appointments to the Office of the President. In the users' contacts, she is listed as “Veronika Konsult. A.B.” and “Veronika Anikievich/fortuneteller Yermak.”
Actually, her last name was first mentioned by Radio Liberty, and then confirmed by the prosecutor of the SAPO Valentyna Hrebenyuk.
51-year-old Veronika lives in Kyiv and has repeatedly expressed support for Yermak on social media. For example, she linked the situation around Yermak to the fact that “we are losing the country, not Yermak.”
She also publishes under the pseudonym Veronika Danilenko, runs the Telegram channel “Lunar Hours”. Registered as an individual entrepreneur since 2024 as a provider of “individual services”, says that she is engaged in astrology.
When asked by journalists whether he knew Veronika Anikievich, Yermak said: “I definitely didn't communicate with fortune tellers.” Veronika knew a lot, but she couldn't remember Anikievich specifically.
