AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Ukraine’s anti‑corruption agencies have named former presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak as an official suspect in a 460‑million‑hryvnia (about $10.5 million) money‑laundering scheme, though he has not yet been formally charged and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is said to be uninvolved. The investigation, which also implicates other senior officials and a prominent businessman and touches the energy, defence and drone‑procurement sectors, is a political blow to Zelenskyy as Kyiv pursues EU membership. Yermak’s lawyer called the allegations groundless, while Zelenskyy, after meeting Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp, highlighted ongoing U.S.‑Ukrainian defence cooperation and AI initiatives. Meanwhile, Russia resumed large‑scale drone strikes on Ukraine following the end of a brief U.S.‑brokered ceasefire, prompting Kyiv to seek an extension of the pause in hostilities.

#RustemUmerov, head of #Ukraine delegation: “We told the American side that it is unacceptable for #Russia to continue its occupation of our territory and then demand that we grant it legitimacy"

“Giving up our territory means that international law no longer exists and that any party can use force to abolish the sovereignty of another party....We are seeking security for both Europe and Ukraine"

Giới chức Ukraine đã lên tiếng bác bỏ thông tin cho rằng cựu Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Rustem Umerov từ chối trở về nước do bị liên quan đến đại án tham nhũng. Phía Ukraine khẳng định đây là tin đồn thất thiệt, không có căn cứ. Umerov hiện vẫn đang thực hiện các nhiệm vụ liên quan đến quốc phòng và không bị điều tra về hành vi tham nhũng như một số nguồn tin ngoại vi đưa ra.
