Corruption Clouds Zelenskyy's Circle: Implications for Ukraine's Aspirations A widening corruption probe in Ukraine, led by the National Anti Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), has reached unprecedented levels of intimacy with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Former chief of staff Andriy Yermak, a close aide to the president, is now at the center of the investigation, accused of involvement in an organized crime group that allegedly laundered millions through a luxury real estate project.
Yermak's resignation in November followed years as one of Zelenskyy's most trusted advisors.
