Recruits of Ukraine's 58th Mechanized Brigade practice military skills at a training ground near the frontline in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine, Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
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.
