Zelensky's top aide resigns after corruption investigators raid home - UPI.com

Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Andriy Yermak, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff, resigned Friday after a raid on his home in a sweeping corruption scandal.

Yermak had led Ukraine's negotiating team in peace talks with the President Donald Trump administration. He was the most powerful political figure in Ukraine behind Zelensky.

"This is the perfect storm. There is a lot of uncertainty right now," a Ukrainian official told Axios.

He was scheduled to travel to Miami on Saturday for talks with Trump's team, but that meeting has been canceled.
