Overview
- Lawmakers voted by two‑thirds majorities to remove Justice Minister Herman Haluschtschenko and Energy Minister Switlana Hryntschuk.
- Both ministers had submitted resignations at President Volodymyr Zelensky's request prior to the parliamentary vote.
- NABU released recordings and investigative findings indicating bribery tied to state nuclear operator Energoatom, with prosecutors citing losses of about €80–85 million.
- Prosecutors accuse Zelensky associate Timur Minditsch, who left Ukraine during the probe, of directing and laundering illicit energy funds and exerting influence over senior officials.
- Reporting that presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak impeded investigations comes via The Telegraph and anonymous sources without formal charges, as opposition parties push for broader government resignations and warn of damage to Western confidence.
