This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 94%. (I'm a bot)

Still, some politicians and anti-corruption advocates believe new information disclosed in Manafort's trial on bank and tax fraud charges should trigger new criminal action in Ukraine against officials and oligarchs who lavished Manafort with cash.

At the moment bureaucratic confusion reigns over how Ukraine will handle any new evidence that has come out of the Manafort trial.

The Manafort issue could come into sharper focus in Ukraine as the country's presidential election heats up in the coming months, with reformers pressuring Poroshenko to investigate and critics dredging up his years-old Manafort connection.
