Corruption scandal rocks Ukraine as it fights for survival

Season 2025 Episode 338 | 6m 31s

A sprawling energy-sector scandal is rocking Ukraine. Last week, the country was shocked by the exit of President Zelenskyy’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak. Ukraine's second most powerful man resigned after the state anti-corruption body raided his home. As Jack Hewson explains, it's a crisis striking at the heart of the government as the country fights for survival against Russia's invasion.
