Shocking news to see the 2nd most powerful man in Ukraine resign.
Even with the damaging corruption scandals, Yermak always seemed to be made of Teflon.
It will be interesting to see what direction Zelenskyy goes.

I cannot recommend the YurtJurt podcast enough.
Not only does it shine a light on a region often neglected (and even mocked at times), it also brings unique perspectives from fascinating intellectuals.
It is also a great listen for those who see the limits of borders and the nation state.

There’s a rift in the Italian far-right League, a party at the heart of Giorgia Meloni’s coalition government, as moderate Luca Zaia becomes a figurehead for opposition to the right-wing populism of firebrand Deputy PM Matteo Salvini.
