Zelensky says his top staffer, chief peace-deal negotiator, has resigned amid corruption probe

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that his chief of staff, Andrii Yermak, who has also been their country's top negotiator in peace talks with the U.S. and Russia, has resigned, amid a corruption investigation.

Yermak resigned after anti-corruption investigators searched his residence earlier in the day, according to the Associated Press.

Two national agencies probing corruption in Ukraine said the searches targeted Yermak. However, a Yermak spokesman said the anti-graft agencies had not served Yermak a notice of suspicion, meaning he was not a suspect in an investigation. The spokesman also said Tkachuk has not been informed about to what the searches are related, the wire service also reports.

Trump’s making a phone call regarding the corruption is historically an impeachable offense.

According to Dima, Yermak, the #2 ‘leader’ in Ukraine, essentially told Trump to stuff it regarding his (greatly watered down) ‘peace plan’. So the Neocons activated NABU, searched his residence, and drove him out of office.

(says a lot about the degree of ‘independence’ that SOME HERE claim that Ukraine has, LOL)

It's a tacit acknowledgement by the western globalists that Russia simply cannot be entirely dislodged from Ukraine without a massive escalation that risks World War 3, and a further acknowledgement that getting Ukraine into NATO simply isn't worth that level of risk.

I genuinely feel sorry for all the Ukrainians who are about to get hung out to dry and especially those who died for absolutely nothing. They are tragic pawns in a great game they never wanted to be a part of in the first place.

Be interesting to see what the Zeepers come up with to explain this one away...

At the time it was silly. Now with just the light of a few years, that Democrat narrative seems absolutely asinine and criminal.

No worries, though. Low IQ / Low info Democrat voters will never think of it again,

“I genuinely feel sorry for all the Ukrainians who are about to get hung out to dry and especially those who died for absolutely nothing. They are tragic pawns in a great game they never wanted to be a part of in the first place.”

The most ignored part of this entire disaster and you know why...

I’ve been waiting for Ukraine’s next “counter-offensive” since 2023.

If Trump were smart he would squueze Zelensky mercilessly until he gave up the incriminating documentation of the Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi and the Romney brothers corruption in Ukraine.

Minduch and Sugarman stole $100 million. Does Israel tax the proceeds of swindlers/embezzlers ?

Israel, safe haven for swindlers, pedos, rapists. I have to wonder why saintly Jeff Epstein didn’t haul ass for the safety of Israel ?

“I’m untouchable “ ?

Smart man.
The head negotiator at the 2022 peace talks was assassinated by Ukrainian SBU. Was too amenable to actually agreeing to a peace deal ….the nazis considered him traitorous.

They’ve never needed facts yet - only propaganda narratives
