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?
