Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies launched a special operation against lawmakers and presidential advisers on Wednesday, hours before a key vote in parliament for a new defence minister aimed at cementing a shake-up by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
The Nabu and Sapo agencies released no further details, but the probe poses a fresh headache for Zelenskiy after ousted defence chief Mykhailo Fedorov called for wartime elections in a bombshell statement late on Tuesday.
