Anti-corruption authorities: Kyiv: investigators and ex-ministers put pressure on Zelenskyy
Ukraine, in addition to its struggle against Russia's war of aggression, is also facing domestic political turmoil. President Zelensky is coming under further pressure not only from new corruption investigations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's office was raided by anti-corruption investigators, targeting his inner circle. The deputy head of the presidential office, Iryna Mudra, was subsequently fired by Zelensky, although no reasons were given. The investigation reportedly involves money laundering amounting to 150 million hryvnia (approximately €2.9 million).
Former Defense Minister Mychailo Fedorow, a potential presidential rival, had recently criticized the lack of progress in fighting corruption and called for elections. The Ukrainian parliament has confirmed Jewhenij Chmara as the new Defense Minister, following Fedorow's dismissal.
