In an interview with FRANCE 24, Ukraine’s former president Petro Poroshenko described the ongoing corruption scandal as “the biggest danger for Ukraine”. His comments come as President Volodymyr Zelensky visits Paris. The scandal, which involves an estimated $100 million allegedly laundered through the energy sector, is reported to implicate Timur Mindich, a close ally of Zelensky. “This is the big test for President Zelensky,” Poroshenko said, warning that “our trust is at stake.”
Poroshenko also denounced what he called “politically motivated” persecution against him, citing frozen bank accounts and travel restrictions based on what he termed “illegal, unconstitutional sanctions” that prevent him from participating in elections.
