Ukraine Anti-Corruption Agencies Announce MP Vote-Buying Probe After Undercover Sting

The move adds pressure on a government already strained by earlier corruption cases.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s NABU and SAPO said an undercover operation exposed an organized group of sitting lawmakers who took unlawful benefits in exchange for votes.
  • Investigators searched Kyiv’s government district, including a parliamentary committee building and the Parkovyi Exhibition Center linked to the ruling Servant of the People party.
  • NABU reported security guards initially restricted entry during searches, while the State Protection Department said it verified identities under martial law procedures before allowing access.
  • Ukrainska Pravda reported that four Servant of the People MPs — Yevhen Pyvovarov, Ihor Nehulevskyi, Olha Savchenko and Yurii Kisiel — received notices of suspicion, a detail not formally confirmed by authorities.
  • No arrests were announced and prosecutors are reviewing multiple voting episodes, with the operation unfolding as President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Florida for talks with President Donald Trump.
