LONDON – By accepting the resignation of his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants to, according to The Guardian quickly close the highly publicised corruption scandal in Ukraine.
„Yermak's resignation, just hours after his property was searched by anti-corruption authorities, is clearly an attempt to quickly move away from controversy that comes at what is arguably the worst possible moment for Ukraine — as it faces mounting pressure from allies and foes alike, and in particular from an increasingly impatient US administration led by Donald Trump,“ states the article.
„This is a tremendous, truly tremendous moment for Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine.“ writes The Guardian.
On Friday, reports emerged of searches at Yermak's flat and office. Yermak himself later confirmed the information, stating that he was cooperating with investigators. Volodymyr Zelensky later announced that Yermak had submitted his resignation.
