Poland’s PM Tusk warns Ukraine risks losing the war with Russia from the expanding corruption scandal
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk took to social media over the weekend and warned that the expanding Energoatom corruption scandal was undermining support for Kyiv in Europe.
“I warned Zelensky early in his presidency that Russia and pro-Russian groups in Europe would push the narrative that Ukraine is deeply corrupt. I urged him to watch carefully for any signs of corruption around him, because avoiding even the smallest scandal would be crucial for his reputation,” Tusk said on X.
“Today, enthusiasm for supporting Ukraine has weakened in Poland and abroad. People are tired of the war and its costs, so maintaining support is harder,” added Tusk.
The Prime Minister stressed that it’s in Poland’s “clear interest” for Ukraine to remain an independent, well-governed state.
“We will continue to support Ukraine in its defense against Russia, because by helping Ukraine, we also protect Poland,” he said. But, “It will become harder to convince international partners to stand with Ukraine if such corruption cases continue to appear.”
Tusk said he was confident that Ukraine’s leadership is serious about prosecuting those responsible. But added that “the damage is done and the cost will be high.”
“I sincerely urge everyone in Ukraine: guard against corruption and avoid the Russian model, because tolerating such actions could ultimately cost you the war,” Tusk said.
