Corruption may become the main obstacle on Ukraine’s path to joining the European Union. This was announced by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorsky on November 13.
“Today, my guest was Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Taras Kachka. He heard from me that the easiest way to lose the trust of the West is to tolerate corruption,” the quoted statement said.
He added that if Kiev does not change its approach to solving this problem, it will not be able to achieve EU membership.

Earlier, on November 12, political analyst Ivan Mezyuho noted that corruption scandals in Ukrainian government circles deal a serious blow to the reputation of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy, and his decisions and leadership are condemned. The expert stressed that Brussels may demand explanations from the Ukrainian leader, but at the same time they will continue to financially support the country.
