Kyiv hit by overnight attack after Zelensky removes top aide

KYIV: Ukraine’s capital faced a night of attacks Friday to Saturday, hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky removed his powerful chief of staff and top negotiator following a raid on Andriy Yermak’s house as part of a sweeping corruption probe. Yermak’s removal dealt a serious blow to Zelensky, who faces a mounting Russian offensive in the east as Washington peddles a plan to end the war that Kyiv fears will hand big concessions to Moscow. Ukrainian negotiators are expected in the United States this weekend for talks on the US plan to end the war.
