Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sacked Iryna Mudra, the deputy head of his office, hours after her home was searched by anti-corruption investigators on Wednesday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sacked Iryna Mudra, the deputy head of his office, hours after her home was searched by anti-corruption investigators on Wednesday.

The raid by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) came after it announced the details of a new investigation, dubbed Operation Forrest Gump, that did not directly name Mudra but accused the deputy head of the office of the president of Ukraine, a former member of parliament and two officials from the state-backed Sense bank as being involved.

NABU alleged that the group laundered roughly 150 million Ukrainian hryvnia ($3.4 million) through Sense bank to post bail for former Energy Minister German Galushchenko.

Galushchenko is accused in the "Midas" case in which a number of Zelenskyy's closest allies, including <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2025/ukraine-justice-minister-suspended-in-m-corruption-scandal-2">Timur Mindich</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/ukraine-names-zelenskyys-exchief-of-staff-in-m-scheme">former chief of staff Andriy Yermak</a>, are alleged to have siphoned off roughly $100 million from the state-backed energy company Energoatom.

In Yermak's case, he was also accused of funnelling the illicitly gained funds into the "Dynasty" construction project in Kozyn, near Kyiv. In <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/ukrainian-media-publishes-tapes-of-zelenskyy-associates-in-corruption-sting">secret NABU recordings obtained and published by Ukrainska Pravda</a> earlier in the year, Mindich could be heard discussing the development. The tapes also mention "Vova" — a nickname for Volodymyr — but NABU has declined to comment. Under Ukrainian law, the president is immune from prosecution.

These announcements of corruption investigations are sure to place heaps of pressure on Zelenskyy. Especially so as the well-liked former defense minister has called for elections and pointed to graft as undermining the country.
