Self Defeat
A corruption scandal in Ukraine is taking citizens' and allies' attention away from the conflict with Russia. It is a serious danger to Zelenskyy's rule and a possibility that Ukraine can defeat itself instead of holding off Putin. Zelenskyy has dismissed the ministers involved but there are concerns that he has not gone far enough. Ukraine was rife with corruption before Zelenskyy took office on a pledge to root out graft. The current scandal shows he hasn't succeeded. It is a PR blow to his rule and a serious distraction. He needs to clean the situation up quickly.
