\nUkraine may have preserved the formal independence of its anti-corruption institutions, but beneath the surface, the country is still drifting into political turbulence, marked by unmet commitments to the EU, IMF, and World Bank that raise serious concerns about its reform trajectory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the implementation of necessary reforms continues to stall, even more critical benchmarks may be missed in the coming quarters. This could result in the suspension of vital funding, potentially triggering a full-scale economic crisis. After all, Ukraine has managed to avoid hyperinflation and food rationing during a major war, largely thanks to the sustained and substantial financial support of Western partners.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Parliament is steadily losing relevance. The one-party majority, which has functionally ceased to exist for several years now, is on the verge of formal collapse, even without pending corruption allegations against several dozen of its members resulting in convictions.<\/p>\n

Another defining feature of this political crisis is the growing erosion of the President\u2019s legitimacy \u2014 a dangerous development in wartime. Unpopular decisions will inevitably need to be made, and they require a strong political mandate. Ukraine remains far from victory, with a long list of unresolved systemic problems accumulating under the surface.<\/p>\n\t\t
