Staff Reports
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in hot water. His chief of staff, Andrii Yermak, has resigned in the midst of a corruption investigation that has put the whole country’s governance under a microscope. This shake-up has sent shockwaves through the corridors of power in Ukraine and raises serious questions about the integrity of the Ukrainian government itself.
Yermak, who was not just a staffer but also the top negotiator in critical peace talks with the U.S. and Russia, has left amid troubling circumstances. Anti-corruption investigators didn’t waste any time. They searched his residence, a clear sign of serious allegations hanging over him. Despite the insistence from his camp that he’s not officially a suspect, one has to wonder what exactly warranted such aggressive action if there was nothing to hide. The American people must consider this: If Ukraine is facing such internal corruption, how can we trust them with our support and aid?

This resignation comes at a delicate time. The Biden administration has been more than willing to throw our resources at Ukraine, thinking it will lead to peace in Europe. But if the very negotiators are mired in corruption, that confidence appears misplaced. It seems the liberal elites in Washington are willing to overlook glaring issues to push their globalist agenda. This is not just about supporting Ukraine; it’s about ensuring that our taxpayer dollars are not falling into the pockets of corrupt officials.
Zelenskyy’s administration is being tested like never before. If this is what happens when the spotlight gets too bright, what does it say about the governance we are backing? The truth is, many liberal leaders in the West are enamored with the idea of supporting Ukraine regardless of what happens on the ground. They fail to connect the dots—supporting a government with a corruption probe undermines our own national interests.
Let’s be real. This relentless push for global engagement has led to a façade of democracy that is crumbling under scrutiny. If Ukrainian officials, like Yermak, are entrenched in corruption while we prop them up with millions, it’s time to rethink our strategies. Do we really want to support a regime that may very well be just as corrupt as the adversaries we are trying to counter? The stakes are high, and the consequences of blind support might just come back to bite us.
As the dust settles on this resignation, one thing is clear: the narrative spun by leftist politicians and their media allies is unraveling. It’s time for accountability and a real conversation about who we are backing on the global stage. Are we supporting genuine governance, or merely playing into the hands of the corrupt? The American people deserve answers, and it’s time to demand them.
