On November 13, Zelensky imposed sanctions on Mindich and his chief financier, high-profile businessman Oleksandr Tsukerman.The scandal has shaken the Zelensky regime to its core and embarrassed even his most vocal backers in the West amid fears that aid to Ukraine would be stolen.Zelensky fired his closest ally and top advisor Andriy Yermak last week amid the graft probe.
