What happened to Ukraine's agriculture minister in April 2024?
Summary
A look back at two political developments reported in the days before 29 April 2024: a court-ordered arrest in Kyiv's government and a warning from Moscow about Poland.
What was the political picture in the days leading up to 29 April 2024? Two reports stood out, one domestic and one regional.
On 26 April 2024, a court in Ukraine ordered the arrest of agriculture minister Mykola Solskyi. The charge was illegal acquisition of land worth $7 million.
A day earlier, on 25 April 2024, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned that Russia would make NATO nuclear weapons in Poland one of its primary targets if they were deployed there. The warning came in the context of Russia–NATO relations.
The two reports were unrelated, but both were part of the political news in Ukraine and its neighbourhood as the month ended.
