Former Ukrainian Leader Warns Corruption is Nation's "Biggest Danger"

Ukraine's former president, Petro Poroshenko, has called a major corruption scandal the single greatest threat to the country. He issued the warning in an interview with FRANCE 24. The scandal involves an estimated $100 million. Officials suspect this money was laundered through Ukraine's energy sector. Reports suggest the case implicates Timur Mindich, a close ally of current President Volodymyr Zelensky. Poroshenko stated that the situation is a major test for President Zelensky. He cautioned that public trust is now at stake. The former leader's comments came as Zelensky was visiting Paris.
