Energy Ministry denies Myroniuk was a minister’s adviser
Ihor Myronyuk, who is suspected of participating in a large-scale embezzlement scheme in the energy sector, was not an advisor to the Minister of Energy during the period 2021-2025.
The Ministry of Energy was informed about this at the request of the Public.
In the period 2021-2025, Ihor Myronyuk was not an advisor to the Minister of Energy (both full-time and part-time advisor to the Minister and Deputy Ministers), and was not in employment relations with the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and enterprises, institutions and organizations that fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Energy.
Igor Myronyuk is a suspect in the EBK database.
On November 12, the HACC remanded Myronyuk in custody until January 8, 2026, with the possibility of posting a bail of UAH 126 million. He is suspected of participating in a large-scale embezzlement scheme in the energy sector. In the NABU materials, Myronyuk is called an advisor to the Minister of Energy. When the Supreme Court of Ukraine elected a preventive measure for him, the suspect's lawyer emphasized that Myronyuk was not an advisor to the minister.
As a reminder, on the morning of November 10, NABU and SAPO conducted searches at the home of President Zelenskyy's former business partner and co-owner of the Kvartal 95 studio, Timur Mindich, as well as at the home of Justice Minister Herman Galushchenko, who previously headed the Ministry of Energy.
Subsequently, the anti-corruption authorities reported on a large-scale operation in the energy sector. They said that the criminal organization had built a scheme to systematically obtain illegal benefits from counterparties of JSC NNEGC Energoatom in the amount of 10% to 15% of the value of contracts. The scheme involved, in particular, the former deputy head of the State Property Fund, who later became an advisor to the Minister of Energy, as well as a former law enforcement officer.
