Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his cabinet's chief, Andriy Yermak, has resigned following an anticorruption raid on his house.
Yermak, 54, has been Zelensky's closest adviser throughout Russia's wide-scale war, but has come under increased pressure due to a corruption scandal even though he was not charged with any violations, reports the BBC.
Ukraine's anticorruption agencies raided his apartment at Kiev government headquarters early Friday, and Yermak said in social media that “on my side has full co-operation”. /Periscope/
