Top Ukraine officials exit in anti-corruption drive

Fifteen senior officials have left their posts, six after corruption allegations levelled by journalists and anti-corruption authorities.

The departures started on Saturday when the deputy minister of infrastructure, Vasyl Lozinskyi, was detained by anti-corruption investigators and dismissed. He was accused by prosecutors of inflating the price of winter equipment, including generators, and allegedly siphoning off $400,000 (£325,000). Investigators also found $38,000 in cash in his office.

After Lozinskyi's detention, Zelenskiy vowed in his nightly address to take a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, a problem that has plagued Ukraine since independence.
