Investigation Launched into Former Ukrainian Chief of Staff Yermak
Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency has initiated an investigation into Andriy Yermak, the former chief of staff to President Zelenskyy. Reuters reported that the agency formally notified Yermak of its ongoing investigation, a process required by Ukrainian law to protect the identity of the subject. The investigation centers on a sustained effort by the agency, and while the specific details remain undisclosed, sources indicate the subject is Andriy Yermak.
Yermak resigned from his position in November 2025 following a significant corruption scandal that generated widespread public concern during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Previously known as the “grey cardinal” of Ukraine due to his considerable influence, Yermak stepped down just hours after anti-corruption agents conducted a raid at his residence on November 28, 2025. The investigation is ongoing, and the agency has not released further information at this time.
This development follows a period of heightened scrutiny regarding potential instances of corruption within the Ukrainian government. The investigation into Yermak represents a key step in addressing these concerns.
