Ukraine's Yermak Scandal and the Money Trail

The Duran: Episode 2521 Ukraine's corruption crisis is back at full force as Andriy Yermak, the man widely seen as the true power behind Zelensky, is now under arrest and facing money laundering charges tied to the explosive Firepoint scandal. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down why this is not just about Ukrainian internal politics but about a deeper struggle between Zelensky's circle and Western power brokers in the EU and US who are fighting to control the flow of billions in Ukraine funding. Is the West finally cracking down on Ukraine corruption, or is this a carefully orchestrated move to remind Zelensky who really calls the shots in Kyiv? 00:00:00 Introduction: Yermak under arrest 00:00:46 The golden toilets and Firepoint scandal 00:01:33 Ukraine's military industrial complex exposed 00:02:28 Who benefits from the corruption revelations? 00:03:32 Why is this scandal resurfacing now? 00:04:35 NABU and SAPO: Western controlled agencies 00:05:28 Is this about Zelensky defying the West? 00:06:28 EU slams the door on Ukraine membership 00:07:45 Are they protecting or pressuring Zelensky? 00:09:20 Yermak as the man who knows everyone ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.
