Ukraine is rocked by a corruption scandal involving its energy sector. Anti-corruption investigators spent more than a year monitoring calls, tracing financial flows, conducting over 70 raids, and collecting around 1,000 hours of recordings. The case focuses on Energoatom contracts, where officials and businessmen allegedly received illegal payments worth an estimated $100 million, with the funds laundered through Kyiv and sent abroad. A former deputy prime minister, company advisers, and executives are among the suspects. President Zelensky has accepted the justice and energy ministers’ resignations, imposed sanctions on two businessmen, and officials say further findings and additional suspects may follow.
