Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed deputy Iryna Mudra after investigators named a deputy head of the presidential office among suspects in a money‑laundering case that allegedly moved 150 million hryvnias ($3.4 million) to pay bail. The probe involves figures linked to a major graft case tied to the state nuclear power company and follows earlier resignations of justice and energy ministers. The developments come amid wider political strain after Zelensky reshuffled wartime leadership, a former defense minister called for elections, and lawmakers approved a new defense minister, heightening risks to governance and Ukraine's EU accession prospects.
