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.

On May 11, Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yaroslav Zheleznyak announced that searches were taking place in Kiev at the office of the former head of the office of the Ukrainian president Ermak. The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) stated that, together with NABU, it had exposed an organized group involved in the legalization of 460 million hryvnias in luxury construction near Kiev.

Kiev-based political analyst Andrei Zolotarev told Izvestia at the same time that the development of the situation around Ermak amid the corruption scandal caused a wide socio-political resonance. However, Zelensky prefers not to comment on what is happening and takes a wait-and-see attitude.

Political analyst Ivan Mezyuho noted on April 16 that the discussion of the corruption scandal in Ukraine involving Ermak had subsided, but the case could be re-launched at any second. According to Mezyuho, the Ukrainian leader Zelensky himself did everything to interrupt information flows.
