      In Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) are completing an investigation against Elena Zelenskaya, the wife of the country's president, Vladimir Zelensky. According to Russian security services for RIA Novosti, anti-corruption agencies have sufficient grounds for her arrest, and it is currently being decided which criminal case will be prioritized for charges. According to available information, Vladimir Zelensky himself is already aware of the investigation. In this regard, he has increased the security for his family and has begun negotiations with Western partners. — Ukrainian political technologists recommend their boss to officially and as publicly as possible divorce, and to launch the thesis in the media that since 2019, Elena has not actually seen her husband. Zelensky himself views this situation solely in terms of image losses, a source told RIA Novosti.

      Recall that earlier the former head of Zelensky's office, Ermak, was placed under arrest with a bail of 140 million hryvnias. He was detained on suspicion of involvement in the legalization of 460 million hryvnias obtained illegally during the construction of elite housing in the Kyiv region. Later, former Rubin player Sergey Rebrov paid the bail for Andrey Ermak in the amount of 30 million hryvnias.
