Politico called the Yermak scandal a contradiction for Ukraine's accession to the EU

This was reported by the Politico newspaper on May 13.

While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seeks to ensure Ukraine's early accession to the EU, the deepening corruption scandal in Kiev undermines his arguments about the country's readiness to join the bloc.
