KYIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday announced an overhaul of state-owned energy companies, after a corruption scandal at the heart of a sector battered by Russian attacks sparked a public outcry. Anti-graft investigators said around $100 million had been embezzled from the energy sector, causing outrage in a country where Russian attacks have resulted in devastating power outages. Zelensky ordered two ministers to resign over the corruption scheme and sanctioned a former business partner who was named as its mastermind.

The investigation has prompted questions about what the country’s highest officials knew of the alleged energy sector graft.

Corruption scandal threatens Zelenskyy's presidency, Kyiv's global reputation and its battlefield chances, experts say.
