US law enforcement agencies are supporting anti-corruption investigations in Ukraine, including cases tied to the state-run company Energoatom. The assistance involves not only consultations but also practical cooperation with Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies.
As Oleksiy Honcharenko, a member of parliament from European Solidarity, wrote on his Telegram channel, citing a report to the US Congress, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI are actively cooperating with Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions.
According to the report, the DOJ has continued providing the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) with strategic advice on cases involving corruption in the state energy sector.
Representatives of the DOJ and FBI met with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) as part of investigations related to alleged corruption at Energoatom.
In addition, DOJ legal advisers and FBI agents held meetings with NABU detectives to discuss possible corruption schemes—specifically bribery and money laundering—and to coordinate asset-tracing efforts tied to seizures in ongoing investigations.
The document also states that the US government continues to support both NABU and SAPO in investigating and bringing to justice those involved in high-level corruption offenses. According to the US side, this helps ensure the proper use of public and international funds and fosters a predictable environment for foreign businesses in Ukraine.
The report separately references a case involving alleged abuses at Energoatom. In this context, it names Timur Mindich, described as a business partner of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The report to the US Congress states that Zelensky’s business partner Mindich is implicated in the scheme.
“So, the United States is helping investigate crimes at the very highest level! There are many questions now about how funds are being used, including donor money,” Honcharenko wrote.
“Just imagine how Americans see this. Partners and friends of our president are involved in the biggest corruption in history,” he added.
The lawmaker also said training was organized for Ukrainian detectives with FBI instructors—about 150 law enforcement officers completed the program.
In November 2025, a newly appointed FBI representative began work in Kyiv to coordinate with Ukrainian detectives on anti-corruption efforts. One of his first areas of focus was the case of Timur Mindich - a figure in the “Midas” operation being investigated by NABU together with SAPO.
On February 19, NABU released recordings related to Herman Halushchenko. In the materials he appeared under the alias “Sigismund,” and investigators estimated that roughly $12 million was laundered in his favor—moved to offshore accounts and in cash abroad.
