TVP WORLD Zelenskyy hit by a $100 million corruption scandal inside his inner circle | Face to Face

A $100 million Energoatom kickback scandal has exploded in Kyiv, reaching the inner circle of President Zelenskyy and triggering Operation Midas – mass raids, sanctions and high-profile fugitives, like longtime associate Timur Mindich. As Ukraine fights to contain the damage, Europe faces its own paralysis: Belgium blocks the EU’s frozen-assets plan, Slovakia joins Orbán in resisting the use of the funds for military purposes, and Kyiv risks approaching a financial cliff as early as April.

At the same time, Russia escalates winter strikes on civilian infrastructure, Germany pledges new aid, and European defense ministers scramble for a coherent plan.

Poland enters a new political phase. President Karol Nawrocki, after 100 days in office, emerges as the unexpected leader of the Polish right – eclipsing opposition leader Jarosław Kaczyński, and positioning himself as Prime Minister Tusk’s most dangerous rival.
