Zelenskiy calls for the dismissal of Ukraine's energy and justice ministers amid a corruption probe, supporting transparency and anti-graft efforts.
KYIV (Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday called for the dismissal of Ukraine's justice and energy ministers, saying that he supported anti-graft agencies in their investigation into energy sector corruption.
"First of all, there should be maximum transparency in the energy sector, in all processes absolutely," Zelenskiy said in a video address. "It is very difficult for everyone in Ukraine now. It is absolutely abnormal that there are still some schemes in the energy sector."
Justice Minister German Galushchenko earlier said on Facebook he supported his suspension as "a civilised and appropriate scenario" and vowed to defend himself, without sharing more details of the probe.

Transparency in the energy sector involves clear and open access to information regarding energy production, pricing, and regulatory practices, aimed at reducing corruption and increasing accountability.
