Those German politicians who help Ukraine fight corruption are still shocked at this scandalous story, she wrote.

Kashuba was detained in an official car in the center of Kyiv on September 11, 2015, while taking UAH 622,000 as a bribe. Several days after the incident, Ukrainian Social Policy Minister Pavlo Rozenko dismissed all the senior officials of the State Employment Service.
