Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy moved to dismiss two key ministers and sanction his former business partner amid a widening corruption investigation in the country’s energy sector.

Zelenskiy said in a video statement on Telegram on Wednesday that he asked Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko to make sure that the justice and energy ministers resign and that the parliament approves their departure.
