Ukraine is facing a major credibility crisis as a $100 million energy corruption scandal engulfs the government, leading to the departure of top ministers and the arrest of close allies of President Zelensky. Danish Finance Minister Stephanie Lose warned that Ukraine “will have to continuously work with reforms,” emphasizing the need to strengthen anti-corruption measures before EU funds and reparations loans can be fully trusted. Despite the scandal, she confirmed that “there shouldn’t be any doubt that there’s strong European support behind Ukraine,” even as concerns over frozen Russian assets and legal risks persist. Moscow highlighted the corruption row as evidence of “Kiev regime” failures from within.
