Update from UK Ministry of Defence comes as Kyiv claims some small gains in the south
Oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, a former political ally of Ukraine’s president, reportedly now faces criminal charges over alleged financial manipulation related to his oil and gas holdings.
The Kyiv Independent published a photo which it said showed the moment that Kolomoisky was handed the charges at his home by security forces prior to a search of the property.
It cited a security service statement saying Kolomoisky, who controlled Ukraine’s largest refining company until the government seized the “critical national resource” in November, is alleged of laundering more than $13.5m in 2019-2020.
