Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday called for the removal of Ukraine’s justice and energy ministers amid a wide-reaching corruption scandal involving the state nuclear power company.
“Among other things, this is a matter of trust,” Zelenskyy said in a video statement on his Telegram channel as he urged the prime minister to remove Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko and Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk.
According to Associated Press he said he is asking members of parliament to support this decision.
The announcement came after Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency said Tuesday it has detained five people and identified seven other suspects in a major graft investigation involving alleged kickbacks worth around $100 million in the energy sector.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau did not identify the suspects but said they include a businessman believed to be the mastermind, a former adviser to the energy minister, and an executive with the power company Energoatom.
The agency also accused eight people of bribery, abuse of office and possession of disproportionate assets on Tuesday.
The investigation, which began 15 months ago, was welcomed by Zelenskyy who urged officials to cooperate with the probe.
Energoatom says the investigation has not disrupted its operations.
Zelenskyy said existence of any type of illegal schemes in country’s energy sector is “absolutely unacceptable.”
He said he will sign a decree imposing sanctions on two people included in the corruption investigation, but didn’t clarify who.
Top government officials and associates close to Zelenskyy are implicated in the scandal.
Earlier, Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said Halushchenko would be suspended from his post.
Responding in a statement on Facebook, he said he would defend himself in court.
“I believe that being suspended for the duration of the investigation is a civilized and proper course of action," he said. “I will defend myself in the legal domain and prove my position.”
