Ukraine anti-corruption police raids the home of Zelensky’s top adviser, as political troubles mount

Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies raided the home of President Zelensky’s top aide Andriy Yermak, intensifying a key political crisis.
Andriy Yermak said he was fully cooperating with investigators and his lawyers were on site during the operation.
The raid involved Ukraine’s top anti-corruption bodies, NABU and SAPO, amid a broader investigation into an energy-sector kickback scheme.
The operation comes as Kyiv faces pressure from Washington to accept a peace deal amid ongoing talks in Geneva.
The case follows recent corruption-related dismissals and renewed scrutiny of Kyiv’s anti-graft reforms.
EU and international bodies have previously praised Kyiv’s anti-corruption efforts despite recent challenges.
Yermak’s role as the lead negotiator for Ukraine has become more prominent amid the new tensions with Russia and the US.
The investigation is tied to alleged kickbacks connected to Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure.
The raid followed the dismissal of ministers linked to corruption and earlier anti-government protests.
The development signals ongoing friction between Kyiv’s reform ambitions and political realities.
