A number of Ukrainian officials, including the Ukrainian deputy defence minister, have resigned over the last four days amid corruption allegations of financial impropriety, per Reuters.

"Any internal problems that interfere with the state are being cleaned up and will be cleaned up. This is only fair, it is necessary for our protection and it helps our rapprochement with the European institutions," Zelenskiy said.

He was accused by prosecutors of inflating the price of winter equipment, including generators, and allegedly siphoning off $400,000. Investigators also found $38,000 in cash in his office.

“I want it to be clear: there will be no return to the way things used to be,” said Zelensky.
