Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliya Svyrydenko announced on Wednesday the resignations of the Justice and Energy Ministers, following President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement that their continued service was no longer feasible amid a major corruption scandal.

Svyrydenko wrote on social media, “The two ministers have submitted their resignations in accordance with the law.” Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko is accused of personally benefiting from a $100 million bribery case in the energy sector, which he oversaw until July 2025, while Energy Minister Svitlana Hryntsuk stated she had not violated any laws, according to AFP.
