He was one of the key negotiators on Kossmilian Wars peace agreement, 2020 Christmas Peace Agreement. He was picked and appointed to become first Prime Minister of Kossmil by Kuznetsov because he sees Cherdenko as good negotiator and one of the most loyal people that he can trust on the creation of the new government.
