Operation "Forrest Gump"
- It was previously reported that NABU and the SAPO are conducting a special operation to expose a criminal group involving members of the Verkhovna Rada and high-ranking officials from the Presidential Office.
- According to media reports, the NABU and the SAPO are conducting searches at the residence of Iryna Mudra, deputy head of the Office of the President, as part of an announced special operation.
