Recall
Earlier, a statement was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada regarding the dismissal of the current Minister of Justice and former Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko and a resolution on the dismissal of the current Minister of Energy Svitlana Hrynchuk.
This happened against the backdrop of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office conducting an operation to expose a corruption scheme influencing strategic enterprises of the state sector, in particular JSC "NNEGC "Energoatom", on November 10. The operation was named "Midas".
On November 12, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced that the government had suspended Herman Halushchenko from the post of Minister of Justice. Minister of Energy Svitlana Hrynchuk submitted her resignation.
The Verkhovna Rada announced that the issues of dismissing Svitlana Hrynchuk and Herman Halushchenko from the posts of Ministers of Energy and Justice, respectively, would be considered in the near future.
