Overview
- Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies said they exposed a parliamentary faction head who offered unlawful benefits to deputies in exchange for specific votes, without naming the individual.
- Ukrainska Pravda reported searches at the Batkivshchyna party office in Kyiv, and MP Oleksiy Honcharenko said the raids were underway.
- Honcharenko alleged that Yulia Tymoshenko discussed paid moves by deputies to join or informally align with Batkivshchyna, claiming a participant recorded talks and gave the material to NABU.
- Zerkalo Nedeli, citing law-enforcement sources, reported that five MPs — Mykhailo Laba, Yevheniy Pivovarov, Ihor Nehulevskyi, Olha Savchenko, and Yurii Kisiel — were notified of suspicion over illicit benefits.
- Honcharenko further claimed Servant of the People deputies took money for votes on the 2026 budget and said NABU agents documented handoffs, predicting additional cases could follow.
