Zelensky Meets with Prosecutor General and Arakhamia Amid NABU Karfagen Scandal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held meetings with Prosecutor General Andrii Kravchenko and the leader of the parliamentary faction, David Arakhamia, as controversy continues to grow around the NABU investigation known as Operation Karfagen.

The Karfagen case involves alleged large-scale corruption within Ukraine's defense procurement sector, with investigators from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) probing suspected embezzlement of funds intended for military needs.

The meetings took place amid public pressure for greater transparency regarding the anti-corruption proceedings and questions about political interference in the investigation.

Zelensky's office confirmed the talks took place but did not disclose the specific contents of the discussions. Officials said the president emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring independent anti-corruption institutions operate without political pressure.

The Karfagen investigation has drawn significant attention from Ukraine's Western partners, who view robust anti-corruption efforts as essential to continued support for the country.
