Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Ensnared in Corruption Probe

A Ukrainian deputy prime minister said he’s cooperating with authorities after the nation’s anti-graft watchdogs announced that a senior official is a suspect in a corruption investigation.

Oleksiy Chernyshov, who denied any wrongdoing, said he had a “constructive” exchange with investigators from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau, or NABU, on Monday for more than two hours, according to a Facebook post. He’s prepared for “full cooperation” and is reviewing related documents, Chernyshov said.
