Ukraine's NABU Expands Graft Probe to 6 More Suspects Over 460 Million Hryvnia

Six additional people were named as suspects Tuesday in a Ukrainian anti-corruption case over laundering more than 460 million hryvnia, widening a real-estate graft probe.
NABU said the group is suspected of handling “criminally acquired property” worth about $10.5 million, according to a statement posted on Telegram.
The expanded case reaches people described as close to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, raising the risk of a fresh high-level corruption scandal.
The move comes as Zelenskiy is trying to get peace talks with Russia back on track, adding political pressure at a sensitive moment.
With his inner circle under investigation, can President Zelenskiy's government survive this massive corruption scandal?
As anti-corruption probes intensify, is Ukraine's parliament on the verge of collapse from mass resignations?
