Why Ukraine manages to fight corruption despite the Russian invasion
«15 months of work and a thousand hours of audio recordings. The activities of a high-level criminal organization have been documented. Its members built a large-scale corruption scheme influencing strategic state-sector enterprises, particularly JSC »National Nuclear Energy Generating Company «Energoatom».« Last week, this press release from Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) about the results of Operation »Midas« was quoted worldwide. Tomorrow, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is scheduled to vote on the dismissal of Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko and Energy Minister Svetlana Hrynchuk, who were involved in corruption schemes. Investigators from NABU also proved that a close friend of Ukraine’s president, Timur Mindich, participated in these schemes. How they managed this is explained by anti-money laundering expert and board member of Transparency International Russia, Ilya Shumanov.
