“Zelensky is fighting back against state capture,” headlines an editorial yesterday in the Financial Times. “Pro-Russian and oligarch-linked politicians have been using a corrupt court system to abolish or weaken anti-graft bodies and rules put in place following the 2014 pro-democracy revolution,” the FT writes about a string of recent court rulings. “These challenges look like a systematic attempt to trigger a breach with the IMF and EU. A cash-strapped Ukraine might then fall back into Russia’s orbit.”
