Synopsis
Andrii Biletskyi, a Ukrainian lawyer specialising in anti-corruption, discusses a recent outbreak of internal political struggle in Ukraine.

He argues that Ukraine’s ability to resist external aggression is inseparable from its ability to build institutions that are resilient to internal power grabs.
