Why Zelensky is facing a political crisis

Why is President Volodymyr Zelensky facing growing political pressure in Ukraine? The Kyiv Independent’s reporter Kateryna Denisova and War Crimes Investigations Unit journalist and political blogger Danylo Mokryk argue that recent corruption scandals, tensions around anti-corruption institutions, and a growing lack of political accountability are changing the balance of power inside Ukraine.

In this conversation, they discuss Ukraine’s domestic political crisis, Zelensky’s relationship with Ukrainian journalists and society, the role of NABU and SAPO, and the weakening influence of the Ukrainian parliament.
