Anti-corruption units have raided the home and office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, in an unwelcome distraction for Kyiv officials as they battle to defeat Russia’s invasion and persuade US officials to accommodate their concerns in peace proposals.
Two national agencies fighting entrenched corruption in Ukraine said they searched Yermak’s office. Yermak, a powerful figure in Ukraine and a key participant in talks with the United States, confirmed they also searched his apartment.
“The investigators are facing no obstacles,” Yermak wrote on the messaging app Telegram. He added that he was cooperating fully with them and his lawyers were present.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office are Ukrainian anti-corruption watchdogs. They are behind a major investigation into a $100 million energy sector corruption scandal involving top Ukrainian officials.
Two of Yermak’s former deputies — Oleh Tatarov and Rostyslav Shurma — left the government in 2024 after watchdogs investigated them for financial wrongdoing. A third deputy, Andrii Smyrnov, was investigated for bribes and other wrongdoing but still works for Yermak.
The scandal has heaped more problems on Zelensky as he seeks continued support from Western countries for Ukraine’s war effort and tries to ensure continued foreign funding. The European Union, which Ukraine wants to join, has told Zelensky he must crack down on graft.

This is how they’ll effect regime change in Ukraine.
Another coup...
“Anti-corruption units”
Let that sink in for a while...😐
Corruption runs deep in YouCraynee.
Andriy Yermak, long time Russian agent and slime ball. He runs the country as the head of the Presidential Administration - a Russian invention. He also ordered the clearing of the mine fields along the Crimean border, allowing the Russian 57th Army to enter unopposed at the outset of the Russian invasion.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau has been fighting the corruption battle for years against major opposition.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the resignation of his powerful chief of staff, Andrii Yermak.

“Andriy Yermak, long time Russian agent and slime ball. He runs the country as the head of the Presidential Administration - a Russian invention.”
Wait a minute here. Are you telling us Zelensky was too stupid to know his main gunner was a Russian agent all along? Ha ha, this is the craziest spin you Ukies have ever tried.
No - every one in Ukraine knows who Yermak is. He, as the Head of the Presidential Administration, runs Ukraine via the Parliament, and by extension all the Parties in it, one of which is Z’s. Z is just the head of his party that put a ruling coalition together before the war. Z is a figurehead. Yermak ran Z, not the other way around.
If you knew how the Russian government is structured, you’d know all of that - instead of mindlessly cheering them on as a resident Putin troll.
What a pantload. So you’re telling us that they all knew Yermak was a Russian asset and they let him run the government. Ridiculous crap from you. Then there’s that “Putin troll” smear. The usual trash from Ukraine.
So you admit you have no idea how the Ukrainian government works, instead choosing to hide your head in a bucket of ignorance.
“So you admit you have no idea how the Ukrainian government works, instead choosing to hide your head in a bucket of ignorance.”
Why should I care about a pack of dirty crooks and liars? They and the Russians deserve each other, two sides of the same coin.
“a bucket of ignorance”
One more thing. The English word you should have used is indifference, but I’ll forgive you because it’s your second (or third as being a Ukie you’re likely to know Russian too) language. Like I said before, I don’t care about your corrupt government and how they lie and steal our money.
