Key ministers, including the energy and justice ministers, have resigned amid allegations of receiving kickbacks from energy contractors, with ties to Russian financing. The scandal, uncovered after a 15-month investigation by anti-corruption bodies, raises concerns about systemic corruption in Ukraine and Zelensky's commitment to anti-corruption reforms amidst escalating Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
