"Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians."

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both [Ukraine and Russia]."

Seven individuals were charged Tuesday in a Ukrainian energy sector corruption case, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's close ally, Timur Mindich, alongside six others, with five being detained and two — including Mindich — reportedly fleeing the country.

This comes after the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) conducted raids on Monday after a more-than-year-long probe into the energy sector, releasing recordings that appeared to reveal discussions of corrupt practices in the division.

Investigators allege that Mindich orchestrated a $100 million corruption scheme involving control over state-owned enterprises, including Ukraine's energy agency Energoatom, with the group collecting bribes of 10-15% from contractor deals. They also allege that $1.2 million was transferred to an undisclosed former deputy prime minister referred to internally as "Che Guevara."
