– There is a war mafia, a corrupt system operating in Ukraine, and then the president of the European Commission… instead of stopping the payments and demanding urgent financial clarification, she wants to send another 100 billion to Ukraine. It’s crazy – he told reporters in Brussels before a meeting with his colleagues from the European Union.
Two Ukrainian ministers embroiled in a major corruption probe were fired on Wednesday by parliament, which also called for more comprehensive measures to restore confidence in the country’s leadership.
The investigation into an alleged $100 million plot to control contracting at the state nuclear agency has sparked new outrage over pervasive corruption, including that in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle.
Speaking in Brussels, Szijjarto added that the outlook for Ukraine is currently not positive.
– Time is not on Ukraine’s side. It is an illusion to say that time is on Ukraine’s side – he said.
He added that his country will support US President Donald Trump’s peace initiatives.
