Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Friday the resignation of his powerful chief of staff, Andrii Yermak, who was also the country’s lead negotiator in talks with the US, after Yermak’s residence was searched by anti-corruption investigators.
The search at the heart of Ukraine’s government was a blow for the Ukrainian leader that risked disrupting his negotiating strategy at a time when Kyiv is under intense American pressure to sign a peace deal nearly four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion.
This comes as President Vladimir Putin of Russia is expecting a visit to Moscow from US Envoy Steve Witkoff in just a matter of days.
