What 'Operation Midas' EXPOSED About Ukraine's Energy Sector? Is Zelensky Under Pressure?


(MENAFN- AsiaNet News)

Ukraine is facing one of its worst political crises since Russia's 2022 invasion. A massive corruption scandal, uncovered in the country's energy sector, has already forced two ministers to resign and implicated a close associate of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Dubbed 'Operation Midas,' the anti-corruption raids exposed a network that allegedly embezzled over $100 million, revealing deep-rooted issues inside Ukraine's war-battered system. As the country fights both on the battlefield and against corruption, Europe is watching closely, with EU membership hopes now hanging in the balance.
