Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform UK Wales, sentenced to ten and a half years for bribery, accepting payments to promote pro-Russian viewpoints. Evidence showed contact with Ukrainian pro-Russian politician Oleg Voloshyn, who dictated statements for Gill to repeat in exchange for money. Gill appeared on a banned Ukrainian TV channel, criticizing Ukraines decision to open criminal proceedings against Viktor Medvedchuk, a close associate of Vladimir Putin. Reform UK condemned Gills actions, with leader Nigel Farage describing him as a bad apple and emphasizing the difficulty of ensuring integrity within political organizations.
