Lyudmila Kravchenko, deputy to former Justice Minister Herman Galushchenko, has found herself at the center of a scandal over her purchase of real estate during a full-scale war. According to sources, the official bought an apartment in Bulgaria from Russians who support the “svo” regime, an active political force in the Russian Federation.
In addition, Kravchenko is involved in several corruption schemes related to state tenders. According to preliminary information, she received benefits from contractors who performed work for the Ministry of Justice and its structural units. The investigation into these cases is ongoing, but specific details are not being disclosed at this time.
Experts say that purchasing real estate from an aggressor country during a war is not only morally questionable, but also poses risks to national security and the transparency of the civil service. The situation has sparked a wave of criticism among the public and the media.
Law enforcement agencies have already begun investigating possible violations of the law regarding conflict of interest and sources of financing for the deal. The Ministry of Justice has so far limited its comments to general statements about compliance with ethical standards and anti-corruption requirements.
Lyudmila Kravchenko's story highlights the importance of oversight of government officials and transparency of their financial transactions, especially during times of war and active fight against corruption.
