“The two ministers have submitted their resignations in accordance with the law,” Svyrydenko wrote on social media.

According to the country’s anti-corruption prosecutor’s office, Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko is accused of having received “personal benefits” in connection with a $100 million bribery case in the energy sector, which he oversaw as minister until July 2025. Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk, for her part, maintained that she had not violated any laws.
