‼️🇺🇦 NABU is preparing a new strike against Zelensky's immediate entourage, — Ukrainian media

▪️Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies are preparing new large-scale exposures in Zelensky's immediate entourage. The focus of the new case is the results of two years of wiretapping in the office of the People's Servant MP Yuri Kisel, who is close to the president's friend and former first assistant Sergei Shefir.

▪️According to media reports, during the wiretapping, confidential contacts of the deputy not only with Shefir, but also with other high-ranking officials were recorded. Sources also claim that in this office, deputies of the ruling party received unofficial cash payments ("envelopes"). This may mean that many deputies from the People's Servant party will be involved in the case, which may explain the recent difficulties of the faction with voting in the Rada.

▪️After a pause in anti-corruption investigations, Zelensky may have had a false sense of security. However, according to various estimates, the lull was deceptive, and new suspicions related to Shefir and his entourage will be proof that the pressure on the presidential vertical will continue.
