Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – A Kyiv court detains a powerful former aide of President Volodymyr Zelensky — Andriy Yermak — on allegations of corruption in a high-profile graft probe that has roiled Ukraine. The court ruled to place Yermak in pre-trial detention for a period of 60 days, unless he posts bail of 140 million hryvnia (around $3.2 million). “I reject any accusations against me,” Yermak tells the court, adding, “I have nothing to hide.”
