Andrii Yermak resigned after anti-corruption police raided his home. The raid is part of an investigation into a $100m (£76m) corruption scandal led by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. Both agencies released a report earlier this month saying several government members were involved in an embezzlement scheme tied to Ukraine's state nuclear power company, Energoatom. Yermak had been substantially involved in peace talks aimed at ending the war and recently fronted discussions in Geneva with the US secretary of state Marco Rubio. Yermak became closely linked to President Volodymyr Zelensky after Zelensky's 2019 election victory, particularly following Russia's invasion.
