He is the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Intelligence of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and the Chairman of the Permanent Delegation of Ukraine at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

Early life and career Yehor Volodymyrovych Cherniev was born on 5 February 1985 in Berdiansk, then part of the Soviet Union.

Following the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014, he joined the National Guard of Ukraine. Later that year, he publicly called for the removal of Vitold Fokin from the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine due to his support for general amnesty for all militants, special statuus for Donetsk and Luhansk, and implying equivalence between Ukrainian and Russia forces. In January 2021, he was also the first MP from the Servant of the People to openly support removing Oleksandr Dubinsky from the faction. He reasoned that Ukraine could not ignore the U.S. sanctions against Dubinsky for alleged ties to Andrii Derkach, and that relations with the U.S. outweighed internal factional politics.
