Yesterday, Yermak resigned after a raid on his home was announced by Kyiv’s anti-corruption bodies.

Sounds like Trump was just sucked up to. Leaders around the world have figured this out, that sucking up to the guy is the way to get him to agree to anything. He's just really easy to manipulate by sucking up to him.
Everyone seems to know this at this point.
There's no no big grand conspiracy to make money or anything like that here, there's just operative sucking up to Trump to get him to say what they want him to say.
It would be much more interesting if it was a business deal, but it's not. The guy is not that smart. He's dumb enough to let folks around him manipulate him by sucking up to him, and that's the long and short of it.
He's an idiot, he's not smart enough to run a big conspiracy.
