Overview
- Stefanischyna, who was dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday, is the subject of a criminal probe by the National Anti‑Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU).
- NABU says investigators suspect about €270,000 in illegal enrichment tied to undeclared luxury properties and other assets that exceed her reported income.
- A bail of roughly €120,000 was set and the Supreme Anti‑Corruption Court will decide further procedural measures and any conditions on the case.
- Stefanischyna denies wrongdoing, calling the actions routine procedural steps and saying they do not amount to a guilty verdict.
- The case raises diplomatic and reform stakes because the embassy in Washington plays a key role in securing U.S. military and financial support and because anti‑corruption enforcement affects Ukraine's international credibility and EU aspirations.
