12.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Yermak's Preventive Measure Was Debated
⌨
The day was dominated by the court proceedings for Andriy Yermak, former head of the Presidential Office, who was notified of suspicion on May 11 for money laundering involving UAH 460 million. In the morning, SAP requested a preventive measure, and by early afternoon, the High Anti-Corruption Court began hearings, which were adjourned to the next day. Meanwhile, the brief ceasefire ended overnight, with Russia striking a kindergarten, railway, and residential areas, killing several civilians. Zelensky confirmed Russia chose to end the silence and promised a mirror response. In the evening, a Russian drone hit a residential building in Kryvyi Rih, killing six, including an infant. Trump denied any deal with Putin over Donbas and expressed optimism about the war's end.
