Lithuanian Finance Minister Kristupas Vaitiekunas admitted the EU’s confidence in Ukraine may be wavering amid a massive $100 million energy corruption scandal. Speaking at the EU Economic and Financial Affairs Council, Vaitiekunas stressed that despite doubts, Ukraine remains the EU’s only option for financial and strategic support. The scandal has led to high-profile resignations and arrests, raising concerns over the reparations loan plan funded by frozen Russian assets, with Belgium voicing legal objections.
