The scandal surrounding corruption among Ukrainian prosecutors has led to the resignation of Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin. Numerous prosecutors in the Khmelnytskyi region were found to have been involved in acquiring false disability certificates, enabling them to receive additional pensions. President Volodymyr Zelensky chaired a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council to address the issue, leading to the announcement of a new, transparent system to replace the corrupt commissions.
A journalist exposed the widespread corruption, revealing that many officials benefitted from the illegal scheme. In response, President Zelensky declared a crackdown on unjustified disabilities among civil servants. The case highlights the ongoing battle against corruption and the government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
