Ukraine Anti-Graft Activist Accused of Dodging Army Service

Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigation accused the head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center, Vitaliy Shabunin, of evading military service, raising concerns of possible political revenge.

The investigators said late Friday on their website that their actions weren’t related to Shabunin’s work. He is suspected of “systematically evading military service and using a vehicle intended for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without legal grounds,” the statement said.
