Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains politically unscathed despite high-profile corruption cases against businessmen and officials, according to Ukrainian MP Mykyta Poturaev. Zelenskyy's decisions to fire implicated individuals, such as Andriy Yermak and Timur Mindich, have maintained his standing, Poturaev told Radio NV.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) have been actively investigating corruption allegations, leading to raids on September 10, 2025, against businessman Tymur Mindich, state energy company Energoatom, and former justice minister German Halushchenko. These investigations revealed a complex kickback scheme influencing Energoatom's operations and demanding large cuts from contractors.
Zelenskyy signed a decree on November 13 imposing sanctions on Mindich and Oleksandr Tsukerman. The former chief of staff Yermak was subsequently fired by the President, with Yermak acknowledging the inquiry and resigning on December 1. Meanwhile, other officials, including Iryna Mudra and Maksym Mykytas, have also faced scrutiny and potential legal consequences.
