The president last month announced plans to audit military draft offices to try to eliminate corruption. "Let me warn all members of parliament, officials and everyone working as a civil servant," he said.

And the prosecutor general's office said parliamentarian Oleksandr Ponomaryov, suspected of collaborating with Russia in the occupied southeast, had been arrested pending trial on treason charges.
