World Briefing Plus: Ukraine Under Pressure: Corruption, Donor Fatigue & the Road to G20

As the Zelensky government reels from a widening corruption scandal — and Western patience thins — I break down what this means for Ukraine’s war effort and for global diplomacy ahead of the G20

Welcome to this exclusive World Briefing Plus edition and your Saturday briefing. Before we head to South Africa for our on-the-ground G20 coverage, I’m unpacking a turbulent week in Ukraine — from intensifying Russian strikes to a corruption scandal that threatens to harden the donor climate at the worst possible time. Stay with me for the insights you won’t hear anywhere else. And if you’re not yet a paid subscriber, this is the moment to upgrade — full access to our G20 coverage from Southern Africa begins next week.
