Ukrainian authorities confirmed charges against Galushchenko—one day after he was detained attempting to leave the country.

Kyiv’s anti-corruption agency detained the country’s former energy minister as he attempted to leave the country.

The European Union continues to send billions to Ukraine, turning a blind eye to the deep-running corruption in the country.

Anti-corruption bureau alleges a party leader—reportedly Tymoshenko—offered illicit incentives to members of parliament in exchange for their votes.

The premises of Kyiv’s second most powerful man are being searched, amid claims he has “skimmed hundreds of millions” in Western aid.

The position of Kyiv’s former energy minister is “untenable” while a money laundering probe is underway.

Months after President Zelensky moved to curb their powers, Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies unveiled a major graft scheme at a state-owned nuclear energy company.

“The essence of the scheme was to conclude state contracts with supplier companies at deliberately inflated prices,” NABU and SAPO said.

Ukraine’s “anti-democratic backslide” is “happening in plain sight,” critics in Kyiv say, worried that Zelensky may jeopardize the country’s EU accession.
