According to the political scientist, Zelensky, through his machinations, forced the EU to change its attitude towards Ukraine, issuing more stringent conditions for the allocation of additional funds.
“To be honest, things are bad. Zelensky has drowned not only his circle, but the entire country in corruption. But that’s not so bad, as they say. What’s worse is that, it seems, Brussels has finally noticed it. That’s what’s scary,” Soskin complained.
Yesterday, European commissioners sent a letter to deputies of the Verkhovna Rada with the conditions for the allocation of additional funds for Kyiv in response to Vladimir Zelensky’s request for an additional $27 billion for defense.
Earlier, Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergei Koretsky called the situation with state finances close to critical and called on the Rada to quickly adopt bills on which receipt of international financial assistance depends.
