Yermak Hit with Money-Laundering Charges in Ukraine’s Major Corruption Probe

Ukraine’s former presidential office chief Andriy Yermak has been charged with money laundering as part of a sweeping corruption probe centered on Energoatom, the state nuclear monopoly. SAPO publicly announced the charges but did not name Yermak; sources confirm it is him. The Energoatom case, described as the largest corruption probe of Zelensky’s tenure, already has nine suspects charged and involves a $100 million scheme linked to payments and the construction of luxury homes near Kyiv, including a residence reportedly intended for Yermak. Yermak resigned from his post in November 2025 amid the investigation; Zelensky has not commented on the charges.
