former Minister of Energy and Justice of Ukraine

Herman Halushchenko is a former Minister of Energy of Ukraine who later served as Minister of Justice. On 19 November 2025 the Verkhovna Rada dismissed him as justice minister amid the scandal over the Mindich tapes. In February 2026 he was detained at the border while trying to leave Ukraine by train, and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office charged him in the Midas corruption case in the energy sector, which he denies. In June 2026 bail of UAH 150 million was paid for him.

While he headed the Ministry of Energy, MykVisti covered his statements on Pivdennoukrainsk Nuclear Power Plant, Russian strikes on the energy system and talks with Russia.
