Ukraine’s Top Presidential Aide Raided in Expanding Corruption Probe. Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigators have searched the home of Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff - According to BBC. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau confirmed the operation, saying it was officially approved, and that more information will be released soon. Although a widening corruption scandal has touched several people in Zelensky’s inner circle, both the president and Yermak insist they are not implicated. Yermak, a key architect of Ukraine’s wartime strategy and the lead negotiator in talks with the United States, acknowledged on social media that investigators from Nabu and the special anti-corruption prosecutor’s office were carrying out “procedural actions” at his apartment with full cooperation from him and his legal team. The timing is especially sensitive, as senior U.S. officials arrive in Kyiv while President Trump advances a draft peace proposal. This month’s scandal centers on an alleged $100 million embezzlement scheme involving major state energy companies. Several suspects have been arrested, two ministers dismissed, and one of Zelensky’s former business partners has reportedly fled the country.
