# Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is cleaning up the country’s energy sector following a corruption scandal. An investigation revealed a scheme in which the counterparties of Energoatom, the country’s nuclear company, were forced to pay kickbacks to avoid having payments blocked or losing their supplier status. Zelensky has instructed his government to submit a bill to Parliament to amend the composition of the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission. He has also called for the appointment of a new head of Ukrhydroenergo, a hydropower generating company.
