  "summary": "Ukraine's presidential chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov has responded to NABU's \"Forrest Gump\" investigation for the first time, urging the public to await a ruling from the High Anti-Corruption Court. Budanov stated that the investigation's outcome is in the hands of the court and that judicial proceedings should be the primary means of addressing the situation. Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that he has no additional information about Iryna Mudra, who is suspected of involvement in corruption schemes, and expressed that dismissing her was appropriate based on the available details.",
