Prehistory:
- During the consideration of the NABU detective’s motion to detain Ihor Myronyuk, a person involved in the corruption investigation at Energoatom, the prosecution noted that Zelensky’s close friend Timur Mindych exerted influence on former Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko and former Minister of Defense Rustem Umyerov.
