The Corruption Scandal Rocking Ukraine
Your questions answered after Ukraine's energy and justice ministers resign in the wake of an embezzlement probe which has also engulfed prominent allies of President Zelensky.
Ukraine has been rocked by a major corruption scandal surrounding the country's energy sector, amidst ongoing Russian attacks on electricity infrastructure. An alleged $100m scheme, involving money laundering and kick backs, has led to the resignation of senior ministers and engulfed prominent allies of Volodymyr Zelensky. But despite the president's public backing of the probe, questions are being asked about what government officials knew, just months after mass protests against controversial attempts to curb the independence of state anti-corruption bodies.
This week, Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko are joined by Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse, and 91福利社 Verify's Olga Robinson. They discuss the fallout from the fifteen-month investigation, and answer all of your questions. Could we see a western-backed referendum in the occupied territories? Will Ukraine reduce the age of conscription? And how much do Russia and the US cooperate beyond headline diplomacy?
