NBU searches Verkhovna Rada

According to Ukrainian sources, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) is conducting a search directly in the Verkhovna Rada. The focus of the investigation has fallen on deputies from the ruling party 'Servant of the People,' who are suspected of involvement in large-scale high-level embezzlement. Earlier, NABU's previous visit to the government district ended with the resignation of former head of Zelenskyy's office, Andriy Yermak. His name is linked to the Mindich case, which involved embezzlement at 'Energoatom.' After his departure, his assistants and advisors also resigned. According to reports from civilian sources, the leading corruption figures are getting closer to Zelenskyy as well. News about NABU's actions has become a topic of discussion in Ukrainian media and raised questions about the transparency of government operations.
