Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) has announced the arrest of the former energy minister, who resigned in November 2025 amid a corruption investigation. The arrest occurred as the minister attempted to cross the national border.

According to NABU, the former minister was detained as part of the ongoing 'Midas' case. Although NABU did not explicitly name the individual, it is known that the former energy minister served last year and resigned in light of the investigation.

Investigative proceedings are being conducted in accordance with legal requirements and court sanctions. Further details are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.

The former minister was among several officials who resigned in 2025 following revelations of a suspected money-laundering conspiracy within the energy sector. The conspiracy is believed to have been orchestrated by a business associate of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) has alleged that a $100 million scheme was managed by businessman Timur Mindich. The former energy minister is accused of aiding Mindich in managing illicit financial flows, with allegations that contractors associated with Energoatom were coerced into paying bribes ranging from 10 to 15 percent to secure contracts and avoid payment delays.

Ukraine’s previous energy ministers and the president’s chief of staff also resigned amid the scandal, although they have denied any wrongdoing.

Addressing corruption remains a critical component of Ukraine’s reform initiatives as the country seeks European Union membership. This effort includes recent actions targeting lawmakers, a former prime minister, and a former presidential adviser on various charges.
