Is Europe treating Ukraine as a partner, or merely as a buffer? Read my latest column in the @WSJ to find out.

The Energoatom scandal has become a test of whether Ukraine’s leadership can reform, or if it has turned into “one of the Kremlin’s most valuable assets”, writes Alexander Rodnyansky economist.com/by-invitation/…
