A What happened
Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies have begun searching the home of Andriy Yermak, who serves as President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff. The searches were authorized by the anti-corruption bureau Nabu, which stated that further details would be provided later. This investigation is part of a broader corruption scandal that has implicated several figures close to Zelensky. Despite the scrutiny, neither Zelensky nor Yermak has been formally accused of any misconduct. Yermak has been a key figure during Russia's invasion of Ukraine and is involved in peace negotiations with the US. However, his position is increasingly challenged by critics demanding his resignation. Yermak confirmed on social media that he is fully cooperating with the authorities during the search.
