This year, anti-corruption authorities have detained several high-ranking officials in Ukraine on suspicion of corruption, including the chief for emergency situations, Sergiy Bochkovsky, and his first deputy Vasyl Stoietsky.
They were detained in connection with public procurement corruption in March.
