Zelensky urges Latin American countries and Spain to help restore Ukraine's energy system
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on Latin American countries and Spain to urgently help supply Ukraine with transformers, cables, generators and other electrical equipment to restore its energy system following Russian attacks.
Ukraine's High Anti-Corruption Court on November 4 ordered Acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi to initiate an investigation into alleged corruption involving David Arakhamia, the head of Ukraine's parliamentary group led by President Volodymyr Zelensky. This decision came after the Anti-Corruption Action Center (AntAC) filed a complaint with Kovalskyi in October, alleging that Arakhamia might have been involved in vote-buying schemes within the parliament.
AntAC, an independent watchdog organization, had previously attempted to register the complaint in February but was denied by the Prosecutor General's Office, citing that the matter was already under investigation in another criminal case. However, the court ruling on November 4 removed this procedural barrier, requiring Kovalskyi to register the allegations.
The investigation could potentially extend to other members of parliament, with some already questioned in the case. Arakhamia, widely regarded as one of the most influential politicians in Ukraine, played a crucial role in maintaining the parliamentary functioning and securing votes for key legislation. He has recently gained significant influence, even participating in peace talks with the U.S. and Russia.
