Twelve dead after Russian attacks on Kyiv +++ Russia reports capture of two towns in Donetsk region +++ Corruption allegations against Ukrainian bank representatives +++ The news blog.
Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities conducted a special operation, carrying out searches at suspects' premises over allegations of large-scale money laundering. The operation targeted, among others, Iryna Mudra, the then-deputy head of the Presidential Office in Kyiv, who was subsequently dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Mudra confirmed the search at her premises and stated she was cooperating with the authorities, having also submitted her resignation. The operation comes as former Defence Minister Mychailo Fedorow, who was dismissed by Zelenskyy, criticised the lack of anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian donors have responded to a call for voluntary contributions, injecting 383.69 billion roubles into the state coffers by mid-August.
