“The ministers submitted their resignations in accordance with the law,” Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko posted on social media.
Anti-corruption prosecutors alleged that Justice Minister German Galushchenko received “personal benefits” from a $100 million kickback scheme in the energy sector, which he oversaw as minister until July 2025 and which has been battered by Russian strikes throughout the war.
