\u201cOlga has to deal with the anti-corruption watchdogs\u2019 allegations, even though they are not totally fair against her, and the case overall is stupid,\u201d added the official, who has direct knowledge of the moves.<\/p>\n
Stefanishyna has yet to be officially charged.<\/p>\n
The ambassador featured in several corruption probes instigated in 2019 and 2025 by Ukraine\u2019s National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor\u2019s Office. The investigations concern a decade-old 2.5 million hryvnia (\u20ac49,000) embezzlement<\/a> case at the justice ministry, the illegal acquisition of Ukrainian state property by Stefanishyna\u2019s ex-husband, and a lavish apartment<\/a> in central Kyiv registered to her parents that Stefanishyna did not declare until journalists discovered<\/a> it. The ambassador has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n Stefanishyna, who started her term at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington last September, hasn\u2019t officially submitted her resignation, and said her upcoming exit has nothing to do with the bureau\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n \u201cI am contributing to the establishment of the truth as much as possible, and I have no reservations about the activities of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau in investigating any information that has come to their disposal,\u201d Stefanishyna told POLITICO on Monday, adding she will provide more details in the coming days.<\/p>\n The Anti-Corruption Bureau declined to comment due to the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cOlga has to deal with the anti-corruption watchdogs\u2019 allegations, even though they are not totally fair against her,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3072,1169,270,1903,1383,777,2023,3176,1322,5664,25,26,3825,196,152,72],"class_list":["post-16314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-corruption","tag-digitalization","tag-education","tag-energy","tag-foreign-policy","tag-infrastructure","tag-law-enforcement","tag-mykhailo-fedorov","tag-nato-summit","tag-regions-cohesion","tag-russia","tag-ukraine","tag-ukrainian-politics","tag-united-states","tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","tag-war-in-ukraine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
