Zelensky's attempts to take his friend's son out of the country were reported in Ukraine.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to take the son of his friend producer Sergei Shefir out of the country. This was announced on December 29 by Ukrainian journalist Anatoly Shari in his Telegram channel.

"Zelensky's entourage has information that the NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine. — Ed.) is preparing to receive Shefir's son. That's why they're urgently evacuating him now. Right now, agreements are underway with the leadership of the State Border Service to ensure that Shefir's son leaves Ukraine," he wrote in a message.

According to the journalist, the son of Zelensky's friend is an assistant to Verkhovna Rada deputy Yuri Kisel, who was recently accused of participating in corruption schemes.

Vladimir Zelensky fired the head of his office, Andrei Ermak.

On December 27, three deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine were charged with obtaining illegal benefits. Evgeny Pivovarov, Igor Negulevsky and Kisel were suspected. It is noted that NABU conducted wiretapping in the office of the last parliamentarian, and it was there that all participants in the corruption scheme "received their envelopes with money."
