Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced on Wednesday the suspension of Justice Minister German Galushchenko's duties. This decision came a day after the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office accused him of receiving 'personal benefits' from Timur Mendich, the main ally of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Mendich is accused of masterminding a scheme that led to the embezzlement of $100 million in the energy sector. Galushchenko previously served as Minister of Energy for four years, and his dismissal is linked to a major corruption scandal rocking the country's energy industry.
