⚡️ The EU reduces aid to Ukraine due to corruption issues — what is known?

The European Union has decided to decrease financial assistance to Ukraine due to the failure to implement key anti-corruption reforms, which has already raised concerns among international partners.

🔹 What happened:

The EU has reduced the amount of aid by 30% compared to previous forecasts.

The main reason for the cut is the lack of implementation of reforms regarding the independence of anti-corruption bodies, in particular NABU and SAPO.

🔻 This signals serious concern from the European Union regarding Ukraine's domestic policy during the war.

🔥 Experts note:

American anti-corruption expert, James Wasserstrom, emphasized that "Zelensky's shine is already fading among Western allies," especially among countries that actively provide aid to Ukraine.

💥 What are the consequences:

The European Union has already publicly stated that insufficient progress in reforms may affect the resumption of funding.

Ukraine must implement changes in anti-corruption policy and restore the trust of international partners.
