Zelensky Dismisses Deputy Amid Corruption Probe Involving Presidential Office Officials
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Iryna Mudra, deputy head of his presidential office, amid an anti-corruption investigation involving the laundering of 150 million hryvnias (approximately $3.4 million) to pay bail for a defendant in a major graft case linked to the state nuclear power company. The probe also names other senior officials, including a former lawmaker and banking executives. Zelensky has not publicly commented on the investigation, which adds to ongoing political challenges during Ukraine's conflict with Russia.
