Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday that his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, has submitted his resignation amid a corruption scandal.
Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies searched Yermak’s home in the morning on Friday. Yermak said he was fully co-operating with the investigators.
The departure of Yermak, 54, comes at a perilous time for Kyiv as it faces U.S. pressure to make concessions to Moscow to end its war on his country and lacks the soldiers or weapons to push Russian forces back.
Of course Freeland met with Yermak and Zelensky recently, she turns up like a bad penny, probably tipping them off about the raid.
It has been 1,370 days since President Zelensky told the world "We are still here," and Canada has stood with Ukraine every day since. On Tuesday I had the honor of standing with President Zelensky once again in Kyiv. pic.twitter.com/ArfjooWahN
