+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Tote und Verletzte bei russischem Angriff auf Zivilisten in Selenskyj-Heimatstadt

Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia's invasion for nearly five and a half years, with the support of Western nations. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, using it as a base for operations and resupplying its forces. Kyiv has repeatedly targeted areas on the Crimean peninsula in retaliation. The country's anti-corruption authorities recently conducted searches of suspects and issued a "special operation" alert on Wednesday morning.

The investigation centered on alleged massive-scale money laundering, with Iryna Mudra, the former vice chief of Kyiv's Presidential Office, at the center of the allegations. President Volodymyr Zelensky relieved Mudra of her duties a few hours later, without providing a specific reason. Mudra confirmed the morning of searches via Facebook, stating she was cooperating with authorities and had submitted her resignation.
