1 min read

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO) will verify whether MP Natalia Korolevska and former member of Party of Regions Oleksandr Yefremov are involved in funding militants in Donbas, as requested by the president's commissioner for the settlement of the conflict in eastern Ukraine Iryna Heraschenko.

"Due to the considerable amount of public attention and the necessity for an urgent reaction to cases of separatism, I signed the corresponding report for the Prosecutor General. On January 6, Prosecutor General Vitaliy Yarema tasked [his] first deputy with registering the case in the unified registry of pre-trial investigations and hold a pre-trial investigation into possible involvement in separatism and the funding of illegal armed formations by Yefremov, Korolevska and others. The Prosecutor General will personally oversee this issue," senior aid to the prosecutor general, Valeriy Karpuntsov, wrote on his Facebook page.
