Home searches by anti-corruption agency / Zelensky's chief of staff resigns

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, has resigned following a search of his home by Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies. 

Yermak, 54, has been Zelensky's closest adviser throughout the war with Russia, but in recent days has come under increasing pressure due to a corruption scandal, although no charges have yet been filed against him. 

Zelensky had recently appointed his chief of staff to lead crucial negotiations in the coming days, with US President Trump leading a new effort to end the war with Russia.

"I am grateful to Andriy that Ukraine's position on the path of negotiations was always presented as required: it was always a patriotic position. But I want there to be no rumors and speculation. Regarding a new head of the office, tomorrow I will hold consultations with those who can lead this institution. When all attention is focused on diplomacy and defense in a war, internal strength is required," the Ukrainian leader said in a speech in Kiev on Friday.

Yermak's departure from Ukraine's leadership circle comes as a major blow to Zelensky, with US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll expected to arrive in Kiev by the end of this week as part of US President Donald Trump's peace plan. /CNA
