The head of the European Union's foreign policy, Juta Kallas, stated that the corruption scandal in Ukraine's energy sector is 'extremely regrettable' and requires serious action from the Ukrainian authorities. She believes that corruption is unacceptable, as it involves citizens' money that should be used for the benefit of the country.
With the emergence of this scandal, there are concerns in EU diplomatic circles that opponents might use it to halt financial support for Ukraine. The Hungarian Foreign Minister even called for the country’s funding to be stopped because of this scandal.
NAKO disclosed details of Operation 'Midas', during which a corruption scheme in the energy sector was uncovered. There are detained entrepreneurs and former officials involved in this scandalous case.
It is worth noting that President Zelensky has taken sanction measures against some participants in the scheme and their accomplices. NAKO continues investigations and searches at the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
