Two of Zelensky’s ministers quit over £76m corruption scandal

Two Ukrainian ministers have resigned over a £76m energy sector corruption scandal linked to a key ally of president Volodymyr Zelensky.

Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) said several individuals had formed a "criminal gang" and built "a large-scale corruption scheme to influence strategic enterprises in the public sector, in particular Energoatom", which is the country's nuclear energy agency. The bureau estimated that approximately £76m passed through the scheme.
