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.

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.

"Sweden on High Alert as Quran Burnings Spark Fear of Terror Attacks"

Sweden has raised its terrorism threat level to the second-highest following a series of Quran burnings in the country by anti-Islam activists. The burnings have sparked angry demonstrations in Muslim countries. The Swedish Prime Minister stated that planned terrorist acts have been prevented, but did not provide further details. The domestic security service, SAPO, has warned that the overall security situation has deteriorated, and the risk of terrorism in Sweden is now at a "high threat" level. Sweden is considered a priority target for attacks from actors within violent Islamism. The recent burnings have complicated Sweden's attempt to join NATO, and Turkey's President has indicated that they could pose an obstacle to Sweden's bid.
