Iryna Mudra was reportedly detained and charged by NABU and fired by Zelensky.
So far, it has been a hellish week for Volodymyr Zelensky and his Kiev regime.
First, the young and very popular former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov came to public, challenging the ‘president’ and demanding elections, even in wartime.
Now, the feared anti-corruption NABU and SAPO have launched a major operation striking at the very heart of Zelensky’s power structure.
The current target of operation ‘Forrest Gump’ is deputy chief of staff in the presidential office, Iryna Mudra.

Kyiv Independent reported:
“The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) is searching the premises of Iryna Mudra, a presidential deputy chief of staff, and Vadym Stolar, a member of parliament, [according to] a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.
Mudra was charged by the NABU, her lawyer Artem Krykun-Trush told the media outlet Suspilne. The latest investigation comes as the NABU steps up its anti-corruption efforts.”
It’s becoming a long list of corruption prosecutions against people linked to Zelensky’s regime: the probe into state nuclear power monopoly Energoatom; the corruption charges against Zelensky’s right-hand man Andriy Yermak and former Ambassador to the US Olga Stefanishyna…
The bureau is also reportedly searching the premises of state-owned Sense Bank.
“The NABU said on Aug. 19 that it was ‘conducting a special operation to expose a criminal organization led by a current and a former Ukrainian lawmaker and involving senior officials from the President’s Office’.
The bureau said later that the suspects are accused of laundering Hr 150 million ($3.4 million) posted as bail for a suspect in the ‘Midas’ operation. The NABU said that these include a deputy head of the President’s Office, a member of parliament, a former member of parliament, as well as the CEO and supervisory board head at a state bank — an apparent reference to Sense Bank.”
Interfax-Ukraine reported:
“Law enforcement officials have detained Iryna Mudra, the former deputy head of the President’s Office, according to MP Oleksiy Honcharenko.
‘Iryna Mudra has been detained. She is currently undergoing investigative procedures at the NABU. She will spend tonight in a temporary detention facility’, Honcharenko said on his Telegram channel.”
