Ukraine Investigates Corruption in Military Drone Procurement⁣
⁣
Ukraine has launched a major corruption probe into the purchase of military drones and signal jamming systems, days after parliament restored the independence of its key anti-graft agencies following nationwide protests.⁣
⁣
In a joint statement, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) said a sitting MP, two local officials, and members of the national guard were caught taking bribes. ⁣
⁣
They allegedly arranged state contracts with suppliers at inflated prices, receiving kickbacks of up to 30%. Four people have been arrested so far.⁣
The case marks the first major investigation since President Volodymyr ⁣
Zelenskyy reversed a controversial move to place NABU and SAPO under his prosecutor-general—an attempt that triggered Ukraine’s largest demonstrations since the 2022 Russian invasion.⁣
⁣
European leaders had warned that weakening anti-corruption bodies could derail Ukraine’s EU membership bid. Zelenskyy has since pledged “zero tolerance for corruption” and reaffirmed his commitment to independent oversight.⁣
