Today, President Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak has resigned following an anti-corruption investigation by NABU and SAPO.
Nova Ukraine hails this development as proof that the country’s post-Maidan anti-corruption institutions — NABU, launched in 2015, and SAPO, its prosecutorial arm — are fearlessly targeting even the president’s inner circle, as designed to break old corrupt networks and secure EU integration.
Now more than ever, Ukraine, its sitting president, and its anti-corruption investigators need unwavering allied support, including military aid, funding, and political cover, but not ultimatums to cede land to Russia for a shaky ceasefire.
“Ukraine should not be forced to trade its sovereignty just as it shows a strong commitment to independence and rule of law; a lasting victory demands defeating both Russian occupiers and internal graft,” said Nova Ukraine Board Director Dr. Igor Markov.
“The news shows Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies are working as intended. I am encouraged to see that, given that we have funded multiple anti-corruption projects over the years and have supported civil society as a core value from the very start of Nova Ukraine, 12 years ago,” said Nova Ukraine Chairman and Co-Founder Mikola (Nick) Bilogorskiy.
