The coming winter will be Ukraine's most dangerous in years as the country faces challenges in the budgetary, military and energy sectors, according to Politico.
Ukraine could face a budget deficit as early as February as EU countries fail to agree on providing "rehabilitation loans" to Kiev through the seizure of frozen Russian assets.
The publication writes that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the country to convince Western countries to continue providing financial support due to the new corruption scandal involving persons close to Vladimir Zelensky.
