Yermak in Court: Ukraine’s top aide faces multi-million corruption case

Andriy Yermak, once President Zelensky's closest aide, has been remanded in custody for two months amid a money-laundering investigation tied to a scheme around Energoatom and a lavish cottage project in Kozyn; prosecutors say 460 million hryvnias ($8.9m) were laundered 2021–2025 with 10–15% kickbacks to officials, and one of the houses was allegedly for Yermak. Bail was set at 140 million hryvnias ($3.1m); he faces up to 12 years if convicted. Yermak denies wrongdoing and critics see the case as part of his political fall from grace, with Zelensky remaining largely silent.

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.

"Staff at ZNPP Refuse to Activate Reactor No. 4, Causing Concern for Energoatom"

"Staff at ZNPP Refuse to Activate Reactor No. 4, Causing Concern for Energoatom"

Staff at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine are refusing to comply with the order from the illegitimate management to start up reactor No. 4. The staff, who have refused to sign fake contracts with Rosatom, are categorically refusing to comply with the order, which violates the operating license issued by the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine. The Russian-appointed "general director" of the plant is attempting to involve Ukrainian staff who have already refused to sign the fake contracts, but their access to the plant has been blocked. The Ukrainian personnel understand that violating the license terms could result in the loss of their personal licenses after the de-occupation of the plant.

Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia NPP Personnel Changes Amid Tensions and Potential Deal with Russia

Energoatom is training personnel who will enter Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and start working immediately after the plant’s de-occupation. The company is also preparing rotational shift teams at nuclear power plants, who might be needed in case of a personnel shortage at Zaporizhzhia NPP after its de-occupation. Russian occupiers are planning to ‘evacuate’ about 2,700 employees of Zaporizhzhia NPP and their families from the temporarily occupied city of Enerhodar.
