Details: Journalists filmed Duma arriving during working hours at the DMC clinic in the car belonging to a deputy of hers. According to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), this clinic was used by those involved in the Energoatom embezzlement scheme as a "back office".

Duma spent 50 minutes inside the clinic.

In July 2025, she supported a bill that would have eliminated the independence of anti-corruption agencies.

"The state has taken the right steps. Order is being restored in the country. I support draft law 12414," ARMA chief wrote on Telegram back then.

On 30 July, Duma submitted her resignation, and she was dismissed the same day. A few days before her dismissal, Ukrainska Pravda published a story revealing that NABU had been wiretapping Tymur Mindich.
