Yulia Tymoshenko, leader of Ukraine's Batkivshchyna party, was charged with offering bribes to members of parliament, according to Olha Postolyuk, spokesperson for the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), who spoke to Suspilne on January 14, 2026. This follows NABU and SAP notifying the faction head of suspicion over the past two hours. Postolyuk's statement, reported over the past hour from 10:15 AM to 11:15 AM UTC, detailed the charges amid NABU's earlier announcement at 9:15 AM to 10:15 AM UTC via its official X account. NABU referenced an accompanying video for further details on the proposal of illegal benefits to people's deputies. In a separate development during a parliamentary speech over the same one-hour window, Mykhailo Fedorov stated that 2 million Ukrainians are evading mobilization and 200,000 soldiers are absent without leave or have deserted, according to Censor.net. Fedorov said he would conduct an audit of mobilization offices and training quality if appointed Minister of Defense. Ukraine's military intelligence (GUR) announced that Sergey Tuzhilov, a 36-year-old Russian soldier from the 69th Motorized Rifle Division captured in September 2024 by the Russian Volunteer Corps' Vovchan special unit, received a life sentence for war crimes. The court found Tuzhilov shot three captured Ukrainian servicemen in June 2024 at the Vovchan Aggregate Plant, per the RDK's Telegram post within the reporting window.
