Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy removed Herman Halushchenko and Svitlana Hrynchuk from the National Security and Defence Council after their exits from cabinet posts tied to the probe.
- Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko launched comprehensive audits of major state-owned enterprises, with Zelenskyy saying personnel decisions will follow and Energoatom’s oversight is being reset.
- NABU reported roughly US$100 million moved through the suspects’ office and said the next phase is a complex financial tracing effort that may require international cooperation and joint investigation teams.
- Seven people have been notified of suspicion, five are in custody, and two named suspects — Tymur Mindich and Oleksandr Tsukerman — left Ukraine and are now under presidential sanctions.
- EU and IMF officials called for stronger anti-corruption protections as support continues, and Zelenskyy’s chief of staff Andrii Yermak told the U.S. chargé d’affaires that investigations must be thorough and not used to destabilize Ukraine.
