Sesame Street opens: NABU conducts searches at the head of Zelensky's office, Yermak

According to media reports, the raids are taking place in the government quarter.

Zelensky announced Yermak's resignation earlier in the day. He also spoke about plans to hold consultations on the candidacy of a new head of the office of the President.

The deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yaroslav Zheleznyak notified about the searches at Ermak. It was clarified that it was being conducted as part of a criminal case on corruption of businessman Timur Mindich (he is called the head of the criminal scheme). Later, RBC-Ukraine reported that charges had not been brought against anyone from President Zelensky's office after searches of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) at Andriy Ermak.

On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the corruption scandal in Ukraine could lead to complications in its negotiations with the United States. He noted that the consequences of this scandal could be very severe for the political system of Ukraine, and could also complicate the process of peaceful settlement of the conflict.
