The corruption scandal could dampen Western enthusiasm for Volodymyr Zelenskiy's government just as European countries bicker over sending German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
One of the most widely used Western tanks, Ukraine says it needs them to break through Russian lines and recapture territory this year.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, whose country borders Ukraine, said on Monday that Warsaw would seek permission to send the tanks to Kyiv and was trying to get others on board. That could mean any transfer was some way off. “We may be hearing more from our German allies in the coming hours, in the coming days,” he told reporters.
On the battlefield, following Ukrainian advances in the second half of 2022, front lines have been largely frozen in place for two months, despite heavy losses on both sides.
