Another top official has been dismissed in Ukraine's government, accompanied with the usual police raids on homes amid fresh corruption probes... but this time the scandal once again runs straight through Zelensky's office.
"Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau said it had launched an operation linked to an alleged criminal organization involving current and former MPs and senior officials in the presidential administration," EuroNews reports.
"Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired the deputy head of the presidential office Iryna Mudra on Wednesday, his office announced, on the same day the country's anti-corruption investigators launched a major operation targeting an alleged criminal organization involving politicians and senior government officials," the report adds. A presidential office statement confirmed: "Iryna Mudra shall be dismissed from the post of deputy head of the Office of the President of Ukraine."
Via UkrinformWhile no names have been disclosed as specifically part of the fresh ongoing actions and investigation by the NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), Ukrainian media has cited sources alleging that senior officials from the President’s Office of Ukraine also involved.
And so Iryna Mudra 'shock' dismissal on the very day of these raids and newly unveiled investigations is obviously more than just coincidence.
Ukrainian and regional media says her properties are being searched:
According to information from Ukrainian parliament member Oleksiy Honcharenko, investigators searched the premises of Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the President’s Office. He gave no further details about the case.
The outlet Zerkalo Nedeli reports that the NABU and SAPO operation also involves Vadym Stolar, a lawmaker from the former Opposition Platform — For Life party, and Maksym Mykytas, a former member of the Ukrainian parliament, in addition to Mudra. Officials from the Justice Ministry and representatives of Sense Bank (formerly Alfa-Bank Ukraine) also appear in the case.
The operation was code-named “Forrest Gump.” NABU released a fragment of an audio recording capturing conversations among people named in the case, in which they mention “four sacks” and the President’s Office. “Only a moron would register stolen money and tuition payments in his own children’s names,” a voice on the recording also says.
All of this follows on a series of prior investigations by NABU and SAPO into corruption at the highest levels of government, which has taken down many officials and been an ongoing source of embarrassment for Ukraine.
And as a reminder, back in May of this year:
Ukraine’s anti-corruption court Thursday ordered the arrest of Andriy Yermak, a close ally of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former head of his administration, on money-laundering charges.
The court also set bail at 140 million hryvnias ($3.19 million), which would allow Yermak, who has denied the allegations, to be released pending a final ruling in his case.
However, these investigations tended to get spun as if 'heroic' Zelensky is on a mission, destroying the rot from within...
The EU wants to pressure their unruly satrap Zelensky so that his clan embezzles a little less conspicuously, if that’s not too much to ask https://t.co/sf7bTB3xZX

Every shocking Zelensky corruption scandal - and they keep getting worse - is PR’d away as “proof that Ukraine is a functioning western democracy fighting corruption”, as if it’s always one corruption scandal away from turning the corner & becoming Denmark.

Three innocent children are dead. Their mother has admitted killing them. And yet a growing chorus of white liberal women on TikTok and beyond is racing to cast her as the real victim, pouring money into her family's fundraiser and filming themselves relating to the confessed killer while cradling their own babies.
Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children - Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, then 8 months - with exercise bands in the basement of the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023. She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window, leaving herself paralyzed and wheelchair-bound.
Her defense does not dispute that she killed the children. Attorney Kevin Reddington has told the court she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible. Prosecutors maintain she acted intentionally, rationally, and with premeditation.
?? UPDATE — A GoFundMe linked to Lindsay Clancy has reached nearly $900,000 from over 27,000 contributors after she admitted murdering her three children.
Clancy's attorney described her future as one of daily grief over the killings she committed.

The trial is ongoing in Plymouth Superior Court; the prosecution recently rested after calling more than 70 witnesses, and the defense is now presenting its case, including testimony from Clancy's mother about her daughter's mental decline and pleas for help.

Lindsay Clancy killed them. That is the central fact of this case.

None of that has stopped the online transformation of a triple child murder into a cause for certain women. Clancy's parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove, have a GoFundMe that has rocketed past $900,000 - approaching $1M from more than 27,000 donors - with a $2 million goal.
The money is framed as covering the couple's travel, lodging, and living costs after they relocated from Connecticut to stand by their daughter through the proceedings. Supportive comments on the page frequently emphasize her mental-health struggles more than the three dead children. Funds are earmarked for the parents' ongoing costs during the trial.
Critics note that crowdfunding platforms have rules against funding criminal defense, and some have called for the campaign to be reported. Others see the outpouring as further evidence that large numbers of women are prioritizing gender solidarity over the basic reality that three children were murdered by their own mother.
That solidarity has spilled into TikTok in especially unsettling ways. Women have posted videos declaring Clancy the winner of a trial that is still underway, claiming she "proved" postpartum psychosis the moment she killed her children. The jury has not decided anything. The judge has not ruled on the central question of criminal responsibility. Yet creators speak as if the outcome is already settled in her favor.

Others go further, insisting Clancy is actually innocent despite her own admissions, her lawyer's opening statements, her husband's 911 call in which he screamed that she had killed the kids, and the civil lawsuit she filed against her therapists that explicitly acknowledges she killed her own children.
Some have hung out windows or filmed themselves in performative displays to argue her innocence. One widely circulated reaction asked whether these women are bored, lonely, or simply completely detached from reality.

The pattern is familiar to observers of recent high-profile cases: a refusal to accept female accountability when the facts are inconvenient. As one commentator noted, it does not matter to this cohort that Clancy admitted the murders, just as it did not matter that Amber Heard admitted lying about abuse. The priority is that women not be held fully responsible.
It doesn't matter to them that Lindsay Clancy admitted to murder.
Just like it doesn't matter that Amber Heard admitted to lying about being abused and admitted to being the abuser.

Even more alarming are the videos in which mothers film themselves relating to Clancy while holding their own infants. Women have recorded themselves discussing identification with the child killer while cradling babies.

Critics have called the decision to film such material with children an alarming one, with some arguing it should prompt child protective services involvement.

One single mother went further still, asserting that any man who believes Clancy should go to prison for murdering her children probably abuses his wife. She added that she is "just waiting for some man out there to prove to me that there are some good ones."

The response was swift and withering: the women who claim to be searching for good men are often the same ones who date the worst of them, and the demand that men prove themselves by refusing to call a child killer a child killer is a particularly inverted form of accountability.
Clancy's defense attorney admitted in opening statements that she killed her children. She has filed a lawsuit against her therapists that also admits the killings. Her husband testified about the night he discovered the bodies and about a later phone call in which she described hearing a man's voice telling her that if she did not act she would lose her chance.

None of this has deterred the conspiracy theories that the husband somehow framed her, or the broader insistence that the medical system alone is to blame and that Clancy herself bears no criminal responsibility that should result in prison.

— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) August 16, 2026Mental illness is real. Postpartum psychosis is real and can be considered at sentencing. But it does not erase what happened. Three children are dead because their mother killed them. That is the central, undisputed fact of the case.
The spectacle of women identifying with the killer, fundraising for her parents at near-million-dollar levels, and filming themselves relating to her while holding their own kids reveals something deeper than sympathy for mental illness. It reveals a cultural refusal, concentrated among a particular demographic of women, to prioritize murdered children over a narrative of female victimhood.
