About this listen

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is confronting his most serious political test since Russia’s invasion. Elected in 2019 on a promise to root out corruption, he now finds himself entangled in a $100 million scandal involving government officials, ministers and businessmen accused of arranging kickbacks through the state nuclear energy company. In a country at war, what does this mean for public morale — and how are Ukraine’s donors in the EU and beyond reacting?

In this episode:

  • Peter Zalmayev, Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative
  • Olena Tregub, Secretary General of Ukraine’s Independent Defence Anti-Corruption Commission
  • Ben Aris, Political & Security Analyst for eastern Europe

Host: Mohammed Jamjoom
