US EditionUkraine President Zelenskyy Says His Top Aide Yermak Resigns
Yermak resigned after anti-corruption searches tied to a $100 million Energoatom kickback scandal involving Zelensky allies, amid calls for accountability and political pressure.
- On Friday, Andrii Yermak resigned hours after anti-corruption agents searched his residence, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would consider a replacement on Saturday.
- Earlier this month, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office said searches were 'authorized' and linked to an investigation into an alleged $100 million kickback scheme at the state atomic energy company.
- Yermak, who led Ukraine's negotiating team in U.S.-backed talks, has been a key presidential ally and told The Atlantic this week `no one should count on us giving up territory`.
- Calls for a new coalition came as the resignation raised questions about negotiating capacity; the European Solidarity party and opposition lawmakers demanded Yermak's dismissal, while observers warned his exit could hinder Kyiv's role in the U.S.-backed peace push.
- Brussels said it will continue to follow the situation closely, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, warned in a video address that `Russia very much wants Ukraine to make mistakes` but `There will be no mistakes on our part`.
