A former energy minister has been arrested in Ukraine, accused of corruption.

German Galushchenko has been detained on a train, trying to leave the country after his name was implicated in a corruption scandal last year.

The former energy minister is accused of money laundering through the state-owned "Energoatom".

Ukraine's anti-corruption services are investigating several high-ranking government officials from President Zelensky's circle.
