Ukraine's chief army psychiatrist arrested on $1m corruption charge
The man owned several properties as well as four BMW luxury cars, the Ukrainian security service said.
billions have dissappeared so this army psychiatrist must be one of the small fish that they feel they can sacrafice.
or worse yet: they did it fbi style and manufactured the criminal so that they can arrest him.
either way, it's having a serious impact on ukraine's ability to fight.
In the comments section of an article about the war last week, I wrote that Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe. I included the link to transparency.org with the data.
The bbc removed the comment. And upheld the section on appeal.
the western narrative on ukraine is just as strong as it is with isreal, so you probably shouldn't expect to break through anytime soon.
They nabbed him partially because it can be hailed as great success againt the corruption, but in reality it's just tip of the tip of the tip of entire iceberg, but the real reason was that what could psychiatrist even take the bribes for? Of course for excluding people from draft, which is a big no-no now.
Ukraine was famously corrupt before this war, before the Maidan coup, and before the Yanukovych administration.
And now that the war is failing, and the hunt is on for scapegoats, corruption allegations will fly.
Ukraine is actively trying to battle their corruption, with this being a step towards that end, however small.
Meanwhile Russia is famously more corrupt than Ukraine, has been since long before Maidan, attempted to pervert Ukraine’s elections to install a corrupt leader under their control, and then invaded in an attempt to expropriate Ukrainian land and resources when that attempt failed.
What point are you trying to make here?

That's a lie.

2020-2023 - Russia is more corrupt
2012-2019 - more or less the same, sometimes Russia wins sometimes Ukraine

Are you talking about 2010 elections?
After the second round of the election international observers and the OSCE called the election transparent and honest

You're either lying again, or using the typical western-liberal "it's only democracy if our candidate winds" (or, well, both).Nice disinformation bro
The war is failing on Ukraine's end? Why do oil refineries and storage facilities explode deep in Russian territory on a weekly basis if Ukraine is losing?
Because 1) they’re losing territory more quickly now than ever, 2) they’re running out of people to kidnap off the streets and shove to the front lines, and 3) the US is about to leave them holding the bag[1][2]. Russia is the largest country in the world by a long shot and over 6,000 miles deep. All Ukraine can do is make pockmarks on its western edges.
I know you've all been fed a lot of pro Ukrainian propaganda over the past few years but to think they're not a bunch of shifty cunts is naïve beyond belief 😂
They've always been dodgy as fuck, even Ukrainians will admit that lol
Man, fuck this war, no one is gonna be well off even if the Ukrainians win now
I can't believe the British Brobaganda Corporation is publishing this. What does this mean? Slowly abandoning Ukraine?
Kit Klarenberg: It's Official: US Abandoning Ukraine
On January 19th, TIME magazine published an astonishing article, amply confirming what dissident, anti-war academics, activists, journalists and researchers have argued for a decade. The US always intended to abandon Ukraine after setting up the country for proxy war with Russia, and never had any desire or intention to assist Kiev in defeating Moscow in the conflict, let alone achieving its maximalist aims of regaining Crimea and restoring the country’s 1991 borders. To have a major mainstream outlet finally corroborate this indubitable reality is a seismic development.
The TIME article’s brief first paragraph alone is rife with explosive revelations. It notes when the proxy war erupted in February 2022, then-President Joe Biden “set three objectives for the US response” - and “Ukraine’s victory was never among them.” Moreover, the phrase oft-repeated by White House apparatchiks, that Washington would support Kiev “for as long as it takes”, was never meant to be taken literally. Instead, it was just “intentionally vague” newspeak, with no implied timeframe or even desired outcome in mind.
Markedly, Zelensky was not invited to Trump’s inauguration. In a January 6th interview with Newsweek, the Ukrainian President - typically never one to shy away from international jollies - said he was unable to attend, as it wasn’t “proper” to do so “during the war”. Amusingly, Trump’s son Donald Jr. has rubbished Zelensky’s narrative, claiming he - “a weirdo” - had specifically “asked for an invite” on three occasions, “and each time got turned down.”
