The European Union says that criminal prosecution for fraud with Privatbank is a matter of Ukraine’s credibility among international partners. A European official said this on Monday in Brussels on the eve of the Ukraine-EU summit.
“Tomorrow, EU leaders will look for strong commitments regarding the continuation and irreversibility of efforts in fight against corruption and also in the judiciary. The absence of criminal prosecution for fraud with Privatbank is a problematic issue, it is a key and a matter of credibility among international partners,” he said.
The official said that further efforts are needed in the fight against corruption and the rule of law in Ukraine.

“The European Union says that criminal prosecution for fraud with Privatbank is a matter of Ukraine’s credibility among international partners.”
I totally agree with the EU on this one. Of course I expect the EU to take their own advice, and start prosecuting the EU banks that are flooded with laundered Russian money.
Will Zelensky be forced kicking and screaming to do the right thing again? Or will the string-puller Kolomoisky continue running the country?
What do you think? It might make no difference anyway if the US put out an extradition warrant for Kolomoisky. Now that would give Ze something to think about.
