Ukraine anti-corruption unit raids Zelenskyy’s closest ally Yermak

KYIV — Ukrainian anti-corruption watchdogs on Friday raided President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s top adviser Andriy Yermak in a bombshell development to a snowballing graft probe.

“National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and Special Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s office (SAP) are conducting investigative searches at premises of the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine,” NABU said in a Facebook post.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian MPs and watchdogs demanded that Zelenskyy fire Yermak over a $100 million energy corruption scandal being investigated by NABU, in which one of the president’s business associates — who fled the country — was heavily implicated as the ringleader.

“Investigative actions are authorized and are carried out within the framework of the ongoing investigation,” the bureau added regarding the Yermak raid, promising more details soon.

Yermak has been by the president’s side as the second-most powerful man in Kyiv since Zelenskyy’s 2019 election win.
