Ukraine’s Corruption Scandal: Why Are Europeans Trying to Whitewash Zelensky?
16:59 19.11.2025 (Updated: 18:03 19.11.2025) A new wave of Ukraine’s corruption scandal is building, after the NABU anti-corruption bureau announced a major operation targeting the energy sector and released photos of bags filled with foreign cash.
Admitting that billions of dollars from Europe to Ukraine “disappear into corruption schemes would make collapse the ‘unity’ of intent and therefore the EU itself,” political analyst Paolo Raffone tells Sputnik, commenting on Western leaders’ push to exonerate Zelensky amid Ukraine’s graft scandal.
He stresses that the scandal is embarrassing “EU and national leaders, who already face criticism from a population that faces economic constraints while billions are poured into the Ukrainian black hole.”
EU heads resort to blackmail to gain national leaders’ support and silence on the matter, with “no strategic thinking is in sight,” according to Raffone.
“It’s only a matter of time for the bubble created by the EU support to Ukraine to burst,” the analyst wraps up.
