Ukraine has been shaken by a €90 million corruption scheme allegedly orchestrated by businessman Timur Mindich – a long-time associate of President Volodymyr Zelensky – prompting the president to impose asset-freezing sanctions and demand the resignation of his energy and justice ministers.
The scandal, which has unfolded as the country deals with Russian strikes that have battered its power grid ahead of winter, centres on revelations from Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies that a criminal network allegedly siphoned off €90 million from contracts linked to the state nuclear company, Energoatom.
