Ukraine anticorruption investigators search home of Zelenskyy’s top aide

Zelenskyy says his chief of staff Andriy Yermak has resigned amid a major corruption investigation.
Anticorruption authorities searched Yermak’s home, authorities say the searches were authorized.
The probe is linked to a $100 million kickback scheme at Energoatom, Ukraine’s state nuclear company.
Yermak has been Zelenskyy’s closest ally, yet remains a divisive figure in Kyiv.
The investigation also follows earlier probes into alleged kickbacks tied to Energoatom.
U.S. mediation efforts and a modified peace proposal add pressure amid the probe.
Yermak is credited with negotiating elements of the U.S.-proposed plan to end the war.
Yermak previously helped oversee negotiations as Zelenskyy’s top aide and ally.
Two ministers resigned in connection with the wider scandal.
The investigation arises as Kyiv considers external peace plans and negotiations continue.
