nnUkrainian anti-corruption agencies have arrested a member of parliament, several officials, and National Guard members for orchestrating a bribery scheme in military drone procurement. The group signed state contracts with suppliers at prices inflated by up to 30% for drones and electronic warfare systems. President Volodymyr Zelensky declared ‘zero tolerance’ for corruption and praised the agencies’ work following the arrests. These developments come just days after nationwide protests forced the government to restore the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies. The crackdown highlights ongoing efforts to combat graft amid Ukraine’s bid for European Union membership.
