Driver, served in the Ukrainian battalion "Aidar". After the outbreak of full-scale war, he did not take part in combat operations. In March 2022, he tried to leave occupied Mariupol, but was detained. He was charged under a number of articles of the Criminal Code of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. After the Russian Federation declared the DPR part of its territory, the charges were reclassified in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: Ermolinskii was accused of participating in the activities of a terrorist organisation, forcible seizure of power and receiving training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities.

On 17 October 2025, Ermolinskii was sentenced to 20 years in a strict regime colony.
