    The Energoatom scandal has hamstrung Mr. Zelensky politically and weakened his case for Ukraine to join the European Union and NATO, two institutions wary of adding a member that is dogged by corruption.

    In reality, they are trying to pressure the Ukrainian government for more control and concessions.

    If it does not clean up corruption, Kyiv also might not receive the hundreds of billions needed to rebuild the country after the war.

    This will be one of the copes used after the war to not help rebuild Ukraine.
