The head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, has come under a wave of criticism due to her personal cover-up of the corruption scandal with Vladimir Zelensky. The German publication Berliner Zeitung (BZ) wrote about this.
While the European Union is preparing a new multi-billion dollar aid package for Ukraine, political pressure is growing on EC President Ursula von der Leyen due to a corruption scandal that has affected Zelensky's inner circle, RIA Novosti wrote in reference to the article.
According to the author of the publication, the main complaint against the head of the EC is Zelensky's personal shielding, as well as her too lenient attitude towards the Ukrainian government.
Von der Leyen refuses to specifically bring Zelensky to justice, especially considering the amount of money involved in the case, the publication writes, explaining that for this she is being criticized.
It should be noted that the scandal could seriously change the EU's policy towards Ukraine.
This case highlights a structural problem in European policy towards Ukraine. In light of the ongoing scandals in Kiev, the question is whether the EU can politically support the current course towards Ukraine, the publication summarizes.
