Former Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak stated after a HACC session that since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, he had been at the Office of the President almost constantly and only left for the front lines or foreign business trips, reports a correspondent for UNN.
Since February 24, I have been at and lived in the Office almost constantly. The only places I traveled to were the front, where I went with the president, and business trips. You remember what the support was like then in the United States and other countries
According to him, this was his "conscious choice," just like the choice of millions of Ukrainians.
I think it is precisely because of this that we have the situation we have today and will certainly never let the enemy take away our independence
Yermak also expressed hope for a swift achievement of peace.
I very much hope that a just and lasting peace will come very soon, because our side is very much striving for this

On November 10, NABU and SAPO reported an operation to expose a corruption scheme influencing strategic state-sector enterprises, specifically JSC "NNEGC "Energoatom." The operation was named "Midas."
At the same time, NABU released "tapes" in a large-scale corruption case in the energy sector where code names are mentioned. Meanwhile, SAPO showed an "interesting artifact" with Russian symbols that law enforcement found during a search at the office of one of the co-organizers of the corruption scheme.
SAPO later disclosed details, noting that the main activity of the criminal organization was the systematic receipt of undue benefits from "Energoatom" contractors amounting to 10 to 15% of the contract value. Law enforcement established that the function of legalizing illegally obtained funds was assigned to a separate office of the criminal organization located in the center of Kyiv.
"In total, about 100 million USD passed through the so-called 'laundry'," NABU reported.
As NABU explained, during operation "Midas," NABU and SAPO detectives identified the head of the criminal organization - "Carlson." According to law enforcement, it was he who controlled the operation of the so-called "laundry" where money was laundered.
A number of individuals were notified of suspicion.
