Details: Fedorov was commenting on a recent anti-corruption investigation into an alleged money-laundering scheme in which, according to the probe, a senior official in the Office of the President may have been involved.

According to the former defence minister, this case raises the question of whether Zelenskyy was aware of possible corruption in his inner circle.

Quote: "Let him answer this question... I believe that he's ready for such questions. It's his responsibility to tell us all whether he was aware of all that or not... I don't want to make any assumptions."

Background: Zelenskyy stated that Fedorov had proposed that both he and Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, be dismissed amid a conflict between them.
