Anti-corruption agency searches Ukraine's central bank chief, source says
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) on Oct. 21 searched the premises of Andriy Pyshnyi, head of the National Bank of Ukraine, a law enforcement source told the Kyiv Independent.
On October 21, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) conducted searches at the headquarters of Andriy Pyshnyi, the head of the National Bank of Ukraine, according to a law enforcement source speaking to the Kyiv Independent.
This marks one of several high-profile investigations by NABU, which have included probes into state nuclear power giant Energoatom, former Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak, Zelensky's ex-Director of Press and Information Iryna Mudra, and senior members of the Prosecutor General's Office.
The searches come as Kyiv prepares to host U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, who is set to meet Russian officials in St. Petersburg on October 21 to discuss peace proposals for Ukraine, as reported by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is bracing for Russian drone attacks, with an air raid alert sounding in the capital at around 5:20 a.m. local time on October 21 as drones approached Kyiv. Despite the heightened threat, the U.S. has pledged to deliver additional Patriot air-defense missiles to Ukraine, though tensions are rising between Washington and Kyiv over the delivery of these crucial weapons.
