The parliament announced the departure of the head of the Ministry of Energy Grinchuk from Ukraine

Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Mariana Bezuglaya said on November 19 that the country's energy minister Svetlana Grinchuk had fled the country amid a corruption scandal in the country's energy sector.

"I am surprised that there have been accusations of <...> organizing air defense, but for some reason our opposition is silent about Syrsky and about the catastrophic problems with the military administration and the generals. Nevertheless, I support that we cannot vote for the dismissal of ministers when there are no ministers. And according to my information, Ms. Grinchuk ran away," the deputy said during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada.
