Overview
- - Ukraine’s NABU and SAPO say a 15‑month probe uncovered a network that extracted 10–15% from Energoatom contracts, laundering about $100 million after roughly 70 searches.
- - Following the president’s request, Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk resigned and Justice Minister Herman Galushchenko moved to step down after being suspended earlier in the day.
- - The Cabinet dissolved Energoatom’s supervisory board and announced an internal review in coordination with anticorruption authorities.
- - Alleged ringleader Timur Mindich, a longtime associate of Zelensky, left Ukraine hours before the raids as prosecutors opened an internal investigation into a suspected pre‑raid leak tied to senior prosecutorial staff.
- - In court, a SAPO prosecutor said Zelensky called Galushchenko after an SMS from Mindich, citing it to show Mindich’s influence; investigators report eight people charged, five arrests, and two suspects abroad, with ex–deputy premier Oleksiy Chernyshov among those implicated.
