A Ukrainian MP and other officials have been arrested after the country’s anti-corruption agencies uncovered what they call a large-scale bribery scheme in the purchase of drones and electronic warfare systems.
In a statement on X, President Volodymyr Zelensky said a Ukrainian MP, heads of district and city administrations and several National Guard service members had been exposed for their involvement, which involved state contracts with suppliers being signed at prices inflated by up to 30%.
President Zelensky wrote that there can be "zero tolerance" for corruption in Ukraine, and thanked the agencies for their work.
The independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies was restored on Thursday, following nationwide protests.
