Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdog has uncovered five major energy-sector fraud cases worth more than $20 million, adding to the already notorious Operation Midas scandal that exposed over $100 million in alleged graft involving figures linked to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s circle. The new investigations span inflated nuclear storage contracts, illicit electricity access causing hundreds of millions of hryvnias in losses, regional procurement manipulation, high-level bribery in the Ministry of Energy and a 2025 Energoatom kickback scheme involving monthly payments. NABU and SAPO said the cases show corruption in Ukraine’s energy system is “systemic, organized and protected,” warning that the true scale is far greater despite the ongoing war.
