    Fears of Ukraine graft grow

    Fears of Ukraine graft grow as US tries to tackle corruption with new aid package

    Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has announced several anti-corruption initiatives in recent weeks

    According to a report from the New York Times on Monday, U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recently met with three high-ranking Ukrainian officials to discuss the country's efforts to root out wartime corruption. Zelenskyy has responded to the pressure with several anti-corruption initiatives, including a controversial proposal to use his martial law powers to punish corruption as treason.

    Renewed reports of graft and financial mismanagement within the Ukrainian military have caused concern about the prospects of continued Western support of the war effort.

    Treating corruption as treason in time of war is not unprecedented.

    When it comes to corruption I suppose its comforting to know that Russian corruption is even greater and has had a crippling effect on the Russian war effort. If Russian corruption was less rampant they might have already won the war.

      KYIV — In a major breakthrough in the ongoing war with Russia, Ukraine has developed a new weapon powered by one of its most abundant renewable resources — American dollars.

          That's how you win the election. I guess you could call it cheating, but it's just being better. Oh, we would never cheat (all sixty million of us), they are the cheaters. Per the press. But I get it. Ukraine might actually be trying to be more..us? Russia is still doing that Russian thing. I believe Zel is an honest man. I think he is a real hero. People hate jews because they are smarter than they are. Well, that's just too damn bad.

            Biden/Zewlinsky corruption has been known for some time. Both are hiding OUR money in off shore banks!
