Ukraine officials say Zelenskyy's ex-chief of staff is a suspect in a money-laundering probe

Two national agencies fighting corruption in Ukraine have named Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s former chief of staff as an official suspect in a major graft investigation. They say Zelenskyy is not under suspicion in the case. The agencies announced that Andriy Yermak is suspected in an alleged $10.5 million money-laundering scheme. The move is a step short of formally charging Yermak, who resigned in November. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy met with the CEO of Palantir Technologies as a three-day U.S.-brokered ceasefire that decreased the fighting but failed to stop it altogether ended Monday.
