KIEV, July 18 – President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on Thursday for anti-corruption bodies to investigate how the country's leading agriculture company MHP SE received substantial subsidies from the state budget, Reuters reported.

MHP is Ukraine's major poultry producer, supplying around 35% of the chicken consumed annually in the country.

Zelenskiy told an anti-corruption meeting that MHP had received around 2.5 billion hryvnias (around $97 million) in subsidies from the state budget in 2017-2018.
