Government Accountability

Amid sweeping investigations into high-level corruption, President Zelenskyy faces urgent calls to dismiss his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, as public trust hangs by a thread.

A group of citizens gathered today on Kyiv’s Maidan to voice their outrage over what they describe as escalating corruption and impunity in Ukraine. Protesters called for decisive action from the government, condemning officials who, in their words, “profit from the blood of our children during wartime.”

Mindich fled amid NABU Energoatom investigations. Zelenskyy’s circle implicated. Government must act within 24 hours: return Mindich, dismiss officials, and secure national energy system.

During the live broadcast of the program UP.Chat, NABU Director Semen Kryvonos was asked whether the Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, or the person referred to in the case files as the “Head of the PO,” appears in the Mindich case investigation.

Herman Halushchenko orchestrated a massive corruption scheme through Energoatom, manipulating both Parliament and the government. The “Shlagbaum” moratorium scheme allowed the company to avoid enforcement actions, forcing contractors to pay 10–15% kickbacks or face blocked payments. Despite legal violations, the scheme persisted under the influence of the Ministry of Energy and the President’s Office.
