Ukrainian Agriculture Minister Suspected in Multimillion-Euro Land Scheme

Mykola Solskyi faces allegations of illegal land acquisition prior to his cabinet role, as Ukraine's anti-corruption agency investigates.

Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) accuses Agriculture Minister Mykola Solskyi of orchestrating a land grab worth nearly €11.4 million.
The scheme allegedly involved the destruction of documents and illegal transfer of state land rights to private individuals.
Solskyi, who claims the allegations pertain to his time as a lawyer before entering government, pledges full cooperation with the investigation.
This case marks the first corruption probe against a minister under President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat corruption amid EU membership aspirations.
Speculation about Solskyi's future intensifies as reports suggest he has fallen out of favor with President Zelenskyy.
