- Investigators conducted searches in Kyiv’s government district, including parliamentary committee offices, and at the Parkovyi Exhibition Center linked to the ruling party.
- NABU alleged State Protection officers restricted access to committee buildings, while the security service said it conducted identity checks and then allowed entry.
- Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing sources, that four Servant of the People MPs — Yevhen Pyvovarov, Ihor Nehulevskyi, Olha Savchenko and Yurii Kisiel — received notices of suspicion, though officials have not publicly named suspects.
