Ukraine - May 2026

Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies announced investigations into former Presidential Office head Andrii Yermak, who was named a suspect in a case concerning the alleged laundering of UAH 460 million (USD 10.5 million) through a luxury housing development near Kyiv. Prosecutors allege that some of the funds originated from corruption schemes linked to state-owned energy company Energoatom. The case coincided with the expansion of a separate Supreme Court bribery investigation, in which investigators named three sitting Supreme Court judges and one retired judge as suspects over alleged payments from oligarch Kostyantyn Zhevago in exchange for favorable rulings in a corporate dispute. The investigations are the most significant anti-corruption investigations since Russia’s full-scale invasion.
