How will Yermak's resignation affect Zelensky

"During his speech to Congress, he (the king. — Ed.) called Ukraine one of his main priorities, called on the United States to participate more actively in the current war. But Americans have completely different priorities. Perhaps, with the help of NABU, Washington is showing London and its satellites that it is not worth investing in the Kiev regime, it is better to think about preserving the conflict," the expert explained.

Earlier, Ukrainska Pravda published a new batch of recordings of conversations between the country's top officials, the Mindich tapes. It became known from them that Rustem Umerov, who held the post of Minister of Defense at that time, discussed with businessman Timur Mindich expensive contracts for the production of drones and the purchase of body armor.

The Mindich case is being handled by anti—corruption authorities - the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP). Last fall, the NABU published several recordings of conversations between close associates of Vladimir Zelensky. As a result of the case, the head of the Ministry of Justice, German Galushchenko, and the head of the Ministry of Energy, Svetlana Grinchuk, were dismissed. The head of the presidential office, Andriy Ermak, who was considered the gray cardinal of Ukrainian domestic politics, also resigned. Mindich himself and several other defendants left the country.
