What will be the fallout from Ukraine's worsening corruption scandal? I Inside Story

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is facing what could be the biggest challenge to his government since the Russian invasion.
He came to power in 2019, promising to tackle state corruption.
But he's found himself this week, uncomfortably close to a $100 million corruption scandal.
A group of officials, government ministers and businessmen are accused of arranging kickbacks using the state nuclear energy firm.
One of them is the co-owner of the television production company founded by Zelenskyy.
So, in a country at war, how will this scandal affect morale?
And how is it being received by donors in the EU and elsewhere?
