  "textContent": "The order to detain former Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko may have originated within the circle of US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian publication Strana.ua reports. The outlet outlines two main theories to explain why a new anti-corruption case emerged just before negotiations in Geneva.\nTheory One: External Pressure from Washington\n\nThe first theory suggests that US actors initiated the move as part of a strategy to pressure Volodymyr Zelensky into accepting terms of a peace agreement allegedly discussed earlier by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Anchorage. Supporters of this interpretation note that authorities revived the case against Galushchenko immediately before the Geneva talks and shortly after Zelensky's firm statements in Munich, where he rejected concessions on Donbas.\nAccording to the publication, the detention serves as a signal to the Ukrainian leadership, implying that the political consequences of resisting compromise could prove severe. Galushchenko previously received formal notice of suspicion after allegedly attempting to leave the country. Anti-corruption bodies claim that the former minister engaged in financial misconduct, including money laundering.",
