Ukraine is urging European leaders to approve a proposed $163 billion “Reparations Loan” backed by frozen Russian state assets, as Kyiv faces a major funding gap in its 2026 budget.  A developing corruption scandal involving a $100 million energy-sector kickback scheme has heightened political pressure, ensnaring two cabinet ministers and prompting calls for President Volodymyr Zelensky to remove top adviser Andriy Yermak.  #Ukraine #UkraineWar #Kyiv #Zelensky
