NABU dealt a blow to Zelensky’s entourage before the negotiations, the historian believes

NABU dealt a new blow to Vladimir Zelensky’s entourage before peace negotiations.

Historian Marta Gavrishko considers this a signal from US President Donald Trump to Kyiv.

MOSCOW, September 5 – RIA Novosti. The new NABU case was a signal from US President Donald Trump for Vladimir Zelensky before the visits of special envoy Steve Witkoff and the son-in-law of the American leader Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kyiv, says Ukrainian historian Marta Gavrishko.

“Once again, NABU strikes at high-level corruption in Zelensky’s entourage just before a new round of peace negotiations. So Trump, as usual, seems to be pulling the right cards from the deck at the most opportune moment,” she wrote on social network X.

Reports of corruption in Ukraine appear regularly. In May, SAPO brought charges against the former head of Zelensky’s office, Andriy Yermak, for laundering money during the construction of luxury housing near Kiev. He was released from the pre-trial detention center after posting bail of 140 million hryvnia.

In August, the department launched the “Forrest Gump” special operation against a criminal organization that acted with the assistance of Verkhovna Rada deputies and officials from Zelensky’s office.

Later, NABU published audio recordings of conversations between the alleged defendants, in which the already removed deputy head of Zelensky’s office, Irina Mudraya, participated. According to the bureau, the management of the Ukrainian Sense Bank was involved in the money laundering scheme.
